A 61-year-old man with septicemia had four infected pacemaker leads, which were impossible to remove using simple traction method. He received CABG previously, and SVG anastomosed to LAD was patent. Redo median sternotomy had a possibility to make damage to SVG. Total removal of infected pacemaker was performed successfully with cardiopulmonary bypass through right thoracotomy.
