    Abstract:
    Cardiac device endocarditis is an infrequent complication of permanent pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. A personal observation had been valued noteworthy in relation to the relatively low rates and clinical features. An old man presented recurrent fevers throughout 17 months before transesophageal echocardiography detection of intracardiac vegetations. The removal and replacement of the infected device via open thoracotomy had been successful, and subsequently confirmed in a prolonged follow-up.
