[Broncho-cutaneous fistula by myocardial pacemaker-elektrode infection (author's transl)].
A rare complication of pacemaker therapy is reported. Shortening and retaining of myocardial electrodes after pocket infection of the pacemaker resulted in the incidence of broncho-cutaneous fistula. One similar case has been presented in the literature. Both the conservative and the operative therapy are discussed. In this report our procedure with pacemaker infections is presented.
