In the era of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the management of cardiac implantable electronic devices infections with concomitant viral infection has not been completely defined yet. In this explorable context, we report the first experience of a Cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation after transvenous lead extraction for endocarditis in a COVID-19 patient. We describe both the measures and procedures implemented to reduce the cross-infection in the operating room and our clinical practice to improving procedure effectiveness on patient care.
在 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）时代，心脏植入式电子设备合并病毒感染的管理尚未完全确定。在这个可探索的背景下，我们报告了首例 COVID-19 患者经心内膜炎经静脉导线拔除后行心脏再同步治疗除颤器（CRT-D）植入的经验。我们描述了为降低手术室交叉感染而实施的措施和程序，以及为提高对患者护理的程序效果而采取的临床实践。
