Abstract

We reported the novel use of a taurolidine-containing antimicrobial solution in the successful salvage of a partially exposed and polymicrobially infected cardiac implantable electronic device pulse generator in a frail patient unfit for lead extraction. The old, salvaged device was entirely internalized, and there were no signs of recurrent infection at 9 months follow-up.
Keywords: cardiac implantable electronic device; surgical site infection; revision; taurolidine cardiac implantable electronic device; surgical site infection; revision; taurolidine
