Case Report (n=1)
This early case report highlights the risk of acute bacterial endocarditis associated with permanent transvenous cardiac pacemakers, potentially seeded from distant infection sites.
Ira S. Schwartz (1971) conducted a case report in Acute bacterial endocarditis (n=1). Permanent transvenous cardiac pacemaker was evaluated on Acute bacterial endocarditis. A permanent transvenous cardiac pacemaker was associated with the development of acute bacterial endocarditis on the mural endocardium of the right atrium along the catheter course.
