ABSTRACT
Pacemaker lead infections are rare. There are only about 0.4%-1.1% of the patients who have been implanted permanent pacemakers suffering from serious infections which lead to endocarditis. Generally, removal of the infected pacemaker wire and lead, long-term anti-infection therapy, and implantation of a new pacemaker to another anatomic site are accepted approaches for these patients.
