Abstract EN
Several patients receive a permanent pacemaker in a relatively young age, with multiple subsequent reoperations for pacemaker replacement.
Pulse generator replacement is an invasive procedure, associated with the risk of various complications, mainly infection and skin erosion.
A case of an extremely long-lasting pacemaker with a totally uneventful longevity period over 31 years is presented.
The explanation for this quite rare pacemaker longevity (possibly unique) is analyzed and discussed.
