Does outcomes after endocarditis or device infection in patients with left ventricular epicardial lead versus coronary sinus leads?
After development of endocarditis or pocket infection, no statistically significant differences were seen in mortality, or recurrent infection between patients with LVE leads and those with CS leads.
In our series of 305 acute leukemia patients treated with allogenic or autologous bone-marrow transplantation, total-body irradiation technique (fractionation or instantaneous dose rate) did not seem to influence the incidence of VOD.
