    Author: Rossi M, Pirone F, Nair S, Trivedi U.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2011 Aug; 92(2):e29-31. PubMed ID: 21801897.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of massive acute aortic valve regurgitation in a 54-year-old man secondary to a percutaneous extraction of infected permanent pacemaker leads. This case emphasizes how carefully patients should be monitored during and after the procedure, regardless of their hemodynamic status. The patient successfully underwent urgent surgical intervention.
