摘要：
The extrusion of a pacemaker, due to infectious or mechanical problems, is a condition that usually requires the removal of the device and implantation of a new pacemaker. A case is presented in which an extruded pacemaker was successfully salvaged using the greater omentum as a wrap-around pedicled flap. The current protocol for salvaging exposed pacemakers at the authors' center is described.
