[Septicemia secondary to an infected pacemaker system: removal of the endocardial lead with the aid of extracorporeal circulation (author's transl)]. 1978

J Beyer, and E Alt, and M Gottsmann, and E Kreuzer

Right ventriculotomy with extracorporeal circulation was used for removal of an infected transvenous pacemaker electrode which was firmly attached to the myocardium in a patient with septicemia. Alternative methods and suggestions to prohibit electrode incarceration are discussed.
