ABSTRACT
Infections are known complications of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). We describe a case of a 62-year-old male who presented with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) cardiac arrest and respiratory failure. He had a history of cardiac resynchronization device and defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation for nonischemic cardiomyopathy. After resuscitation, he was found to have methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia on blood culture and large vegetations on the CRT-D lead and tricuspid valve found on echocardiography. The patient underwent extraction of the leads, but several large vegetations were present adherent to the tricuspid valve on intra-cardiac ultrasound (ICE). Due to comorbidities, the patient was not a candidate for surgical removal of these vegetations. Thus, he underwent percutaneous extraction of tricuspid and right atrial vegetations with the AngioVac device.
