However, the detection of thoracic complications using CXR is limited, and it requires radiation exposure. Thoracic ultrasound (TUS) is a more versatile and quicker alternative for the diagnosis of thoracic pathologies, although its use in cardiac electrophysiology is not yet validated.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic power of CXR and TUS in the diagnosis of non\u2010infective early complications of CIED implantation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 397 patients who underwent CIED implantation were prospectively enrolled from 1 November 2021, to 30 September 2022.

TUS demonstrated non\u2010inferior accuracy in diagnosing early mechanical complications, with increased sensitivity when compared to CXR.
