We presented a case of a 68-year-old female patient with a device implanted six years ago due to symptomatic sinus pauses. A new device was implanted five years ago due to first pacemaker failure. She was admitted for persistent fever associated with infective endocarditis as a result of pacemaker lead. During the evaluation, two pacemakers pockets with their respective generators were detected. According to the patient, the device had not been removed due to the high risk of the procedure. When making the decision to abandon a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator leads, potential future complications should be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
