| Abstract: | On the basis of an observation is reported on an uncommon dislocation of a separated pacemaker probe into the inside of the heart with a winding-up in the right ventricle. A massive thrombosis with embolus in the lungs developed by a parietal thrombosis in the region of the pacemaker cable. Diagnosing and secondary complications were described and therapeutic and prophylactic measures discussed. Such a complication of the pacemaker therapy must be absolutely excluded in spite of the increasing number of secondary surgical interventions in pacemaker patients. |
