Abstract
Extrusion of the generator is an infrequent complication following pacemaker implantation. Occlusion or stenosis of the deep venous system is common in elderly patients and can cause significant difficulties in transvenous pacing. The present study reports a rare case of pacemaker extrusion in an elderly patient with an inaccessible upper extremities deep venous system, requiring device reimplantation via the femoral route.Entities:
