Late-Onset Infection in a Leadless Pacemaker

Abstract

Infection of leadless pacemakers (LPM) is rare, even in patients at high risk for infections. Only 3 cases of LPM infection have been documented in the literature, all occurring within 1 month of device implantation. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of late-onset LPM infection, developing almost 2 years after implantation. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
