Abstract
Purpose: to explore results of chronically implanted endocardial pacemaker leads extraction with extracorporeal circulation and using sternotomy pump off approach.
Methods: bacteriological analysis and electronical microscopy of deimplanted pacing leads were estimated. The short-distance outcomes of surgical treatment are analyzed too.
Results: 26 patients were operated and 59 leads extracted. The vast majority of infectious agents were presented by Streptococcus viridians and Staphylococcus epidermidis. One patient had early postoperative bleeding. Another case was complicated by relapse of infection. There wasn’t mortality observed.
Conclusion: the pump off approach of extracorporeal circulation is a safe and effective method for endocardial pacemaker leads extraction.
