- Abstract
As the number of patients implanted with deep brain stimulation systems increases, coexistence with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) poses questions about safety. We systematically reviewed the literature on coexisting DBS and CIED. Eighteen reports of 34 patients were included. Device-device interactions were reported in 6 patients. Sources of complications were extensively reviewed and cautious measures which could be considered as part of a standard checklist for careful consideration are suggested., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
