Abstract

We present a case of a 33 year-old patient with transposition of great arteries, treated in the past with Senning operation, who had undergone a DDD pacemaker implatation procedure. The patient was subjected to transcutaneous removal of the pacing system due to infection, with a concurrent implantation of a pacemker with epicardial pacing leads.
