Abstract:
Objective: Pocket infection in patients after total removal of implanted pacemaker has many problems for their electronic system; our research intends to explore the feasibility of conservatively treating such infection and retain the electronic system. Methods: A total of 4 patients with pacemaker pocket infection in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2016-02 were studied. Thorough debridement and disinfection were conducted in infected pockets and devices, meanwhile vacuum sealing drainage was applied. Electrode wire was kept and intravenous antibiotics were given for (7-10) days after the operation in all patients. Results: The average time of infection occurred at 14.75 months after operation with the type of isolated pacemaker pocket infection. Pocket vacuum suction drainage was performed, with the mean of 7.25 (5-10) months follow-up observation, infection was disappeared and the patients had good wound healing. Conclusion: With thorough debridement of infected pocket, rational treatment of residual electronic system and vacuum sealing drainage, the infection might be effectively controlled for complete recovery without lead extraction in relevant patients.
