A case of pacemaker electrode infection with Staphylococcus aureus is presented. In order to avoid sternotomy, the right ventricular pacemaker lead, which had been implanted for 15 years, was successfully extracted using a laser sheath despite large endocarditic vegetations on the pacemaker lead. After completion of a 6-week course of antibiotics, the patient was discharged without any further evidence of infection.
本文报告了一例金黄色葡萄球菌感染起搏器电极的病例。为避免开胸手术，尽管起搏器电极上有大量心内膜炎赘生物，但通过激光鞘成功取出了已植入15年的右心室起搏器导线。在完成为期6周的抗生素疗程后，患者出院，未发现任何进一步的感染迹象。
