摘要
We present the case of a patient with vegetations on a pacing lead from a pacemaker implanted 13 years previously. A new surgical technique for removal of infected leads was developed to avoid the increased risk of septic pulmonary embolism. The electrode with vegetations was removed without cardiopulmonary bypass using the direct surgical approach described. (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
