Abstract

Pacemaker lead infection is a rare but serious complication of permanent transvenous pacing, and the prognosis is serious if all the implanted materials are not completely removed. In this case report, we aim to describe the management of a fractured pacemaker lead caused by the extraction procedure using a bulldog lead extender.
