Key result
Endocardial pacemaker catheter electrodes provoked an unusual adhesive endocarditis, causing firm adherence to the tricuspid valve commissure that prevented catheter removal.

Raises caution for adhesive endocarditis during difficult lead extraction; leaves open its incidence and optimal management.
Case Report (n=1)
Endocardial pacemaker catheters can provoke adhesive endocarditis and adhere to the tricuspid valve, posing a hazard during removal.
Friedberg et al. (1969) conducted a case report in Adhesive endocarditis (n=1). Endocardial pacemaker catheter electrodes was evaluated on Adhesive endocarditis. Endocardial pacemaker catheter electrodes provoked an unusual adhesive endocarditis, causing firm adherence to the tricuspid valve commissure that prevented catheter removal.
