ABSTRACT

Abstract:  Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)  infections  can present with a large spectrum ranging from erythema due to skin site inflammation to infective endocarditis, which can be fatal. Whether the pocket infection is complicated or not and whether there are signs of systemic infection are important in the prognosis and treatment of patients. In this case report, we present a patient with high comorbidity who underwent pacemaker battery replacement and developed complicated pocket infection and the difficulties in management.
Keywords: Cardiac implantable electronic device, infection, epicardial pacemaker.
