Seven patients with infected transvenous dual chambered pacemakers have undergone removal of the device using cardiopulmonary bypass. There were four women and three men with a mean age of 58 years. Six patients had localized infection in the generator pocket (mean of 4.6 previous unsuccessful operations for surgical sterilization). Four infections were due to Staphylococcus epidermidis, two to Staphylococcus aureus, and one patient presented septicemia caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The atrial and ventricular transvenous electrodes were removed under direct vision using cardiopulmonary bypass. A new dual chambered epicardial pacemaker was implanted. The procedure was well-tolerated, and all patients are infection free with working pacemakers after a mean follow-up of 25.4 months.
