  • Title: [Removal of an endocavitary electrode with cardiopulmonary bypass for septicemia associated with right atrial thrombosis. Report of a case (author's transl)].
    Author: Frugoni C, Donadel G, De Mozzi P, Bortolotti U, Gallucci V.
    Journal: G Ital Cardiol; 1979; 9(8):886-8. PubMed ID: 549803.
    Abstract:
    A case of staphylococcus epidermidis endocarditis associated with a right atrial thrombosis around a pacemaker electrode is presented. Stuce the antibiotic therapy had proved uneffective, the electrode had to be removed with cardiopulmonary bypass; the infection was subsequently eliminated. When a foreign body cannot be removed by closed techniques, open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass may be necessary.
