ABSTRACT
We present a complex case of cardiac implantable electronic device infection and extraction in the setting of bacteremia, large lead vegetation, and patent foramen ovale. Following a comprehensive preprocedural workup including transesophageal echocardiogram and computed tomography lead extraction protocol, in addition to the involvement of multiple subspecialties, an open chest approach to extraction was deemed a safer option for eradication of the patient's infection. Despite percutaneous techniques having evolved as the preferred extraction method during the last few decades, this case demonstrates the importance of a thorough evaluation at an experienced center to determine the need for open chest extraction.
