Peritoneal migration of an abdominally implanted epicardial pacemaker: a cause of intestinal obstruction.

C Gomez1, M Dick, R Hernandez, A G Coran, D Crowley, G A Serwer.   

Abstract

We report the case of a 10-year-old child with an abdominally implanted epicardial pacemaker that eroded through the peritoneum and migrated to an intraperitoneal location, resulting in partial and then complete intestinal obstruction. This potentially life-threatening complication should be considered when a patient with an abdominally implanted pacemaker presents with abdominal pain.
