Three cases of delayed infection of automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator devices without systemic manifestations are reported. Computed tomographic scan of the heart revealed fluid deep to the patch in each case. Sonication of explanted automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patches facilitated the recovery of adherent microorganisms in one case. Management of this previously unrecognized problem is outlined.
报告了3例植入式自动心脏复律除颤器装置延迟感染且无全身表现的病例。心脏计算机断层扫描显示，每例患者的补片下方均有积液。1例患者通过对取出的植入式自动心脏复律除颤器补片进行超声处理，培养出了黏附的微生物。本文概述了对这一此前未被认识到的问题的处理方法。
