Statistical Evidence of the Incidence of Defib/Pacemaker Site Hematoma Formation

  • Hematoma incidence increases by ~4-7% of patients with CIED in the U.S. (Wiegand et al., 2004)

 

  • Common types of CIED increase risk by ~1-10% (Notaristefano et al., 2020)

 

  • Rise in complications can occur as a result of pocket hematoma formation (Kewcharoen et al., 2021)

 

  • Left untreated, pocket hematomas can increase the risk of mortality, and cardiovascular conditions (Kewcharoen et al., 2021)
