Rare complication of permanent pacemaker: protrusion of the battery connected to the pacemaker pocket infection
Abstract
Pacemaker pocket infection will recently increasingly be seen as a problem related to expanding range of indications of the permanent pacemaker, cardiac resynchronization therapy, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Seventy-four-year-old male patient with ICD implanted in 2008 due to ischemic cardiomyopathy, who had the pacemaker battery protruding from the skin after pacemaker pocket infection. After 4 weeks of antibiotic therapy, all pacemaker equipment removed by surgery. Pacemaker pocket infection developed more frequently in the presence of risk factors, needs long-term use of antibiotics, and surgical treatment as complicated.

Abstract
Pacemaker cep enfeksiyonu son zamanlarda kalıcı pacemaker, kardiyak resenkronizasyon tedavi ve implante edilebilir kardiyoverter defibrilatör (ICD) endikasyon yelpazesinin genişlemesiyle giderek artacak bir problem olarak görülmektedir. İskemik kardiyomiyopati tanısıyla 2008 yılında ICD yerleştirilen yetmiş dört yaşındaki erkek hastada pacemaker cep enfeksiyonu sonrası, bataryanın ciltten protrüde olduğu görüldü. 4 hafta süren antibiyotik tedavi sonrası cerrahi olarak tüm pacemaker ekipmanları çıkarıldı. Pacemaker cep enfeksiyonu risk faktörlerinin varlığında daha sık gelişmekte, komplike olarak uzun süre antibiyotik kullanımı ve cerrahi tedavi gerektirmektedir.
