    Abstract:
    A 71-year-old man developed a cardiac tumour in the right ventricle and a pulmonary embolism caused by aspergillosis after implantation of a pacemaker because of arrhythmia. Repeated revisions during pocket infections. Emergency operation and tricuspid valve replacement with a Carpentier Edwards xenograft. The pacing electrodes and the endocardium were infected by Aspergillus in form of an aspergilloma. This case is an example of the rare condition of a pulmonary embolism with pure fungal material.
