Abstract:
A case of endocarditis associated with six entrapped endocardial pacer leads is presented. Because of many failed attempts at removing them by conservative measures, cardiopulmonary bypass was needed; concomitant redo coronary bypass grafts were done. To our knowledge, this represents a unique case, the like of which has not been reported previously. Salient features of management are discussed.
