From January, 1970, through December, 1984, nineteen infected or eroded pacemaker units were reimplanted in 17 patients. Characteristics of the patients, types of infecting organisms, surgical management, and complications are described. Optimal treatment of the infected generator pocket requires explantation of the generator unit with utilization of the in situ leads for pacing by an external-demand pacemaker unit. The generator unit is sterilized, and new leads are placed with relocation of the pocket. The old leads are then removed. This technique has been used safely and with excellent results for the past fourteen years.
从1970年1月至1984年12月，17例患者重新植入了19个受感染或受侵蚀的起搏器装置。描述了患者的特征、感染生物体的类型、手术处理及并发症。对于感染的起搏器囊袋，最佳治疗方法是取出起搏器装置，利用原位电极通过体外按需起搏器进行起搏。将起搏器装置消毒，重新放置新电极并重新安置囊袋。然后取出旧电极。在过去的十四年里，这项技术一直安全使用且效果良好。
