Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia can be persistent and refractory; however, the optimal approach for its treatment has not been determined. Although fosfomycin (FOM) has been shown to have synergistic effects with anti-MRSA agents in vitro, clinical experience with FOM combination therapy is limited. Thus, we present cases of persistent MRSA bacteremia that improved with the addition of FOM.

Cardiac device-related endocarditis as a device-therapy complication is a growing problem due to higher life expectancy and the increasing number of abandoned leads and subclinical symptoms. We reported a case of a 47-year-old woman with an implanted pacemaker who was admitted to the clinic for cardiology due to the right-sided device-related infective endocarditis of the pacemaker leads with vegetations, predominantly in the right atrium and right ventricle and complicated by pulmonary embolism. Several years after pacemaker implantation, she was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus and started immunosuppressive therapy.

To summarize the etiology and surgical treatment experience of tricuspid valve disease due to permanent pacemaker lead. The medical records of 22 patients who underwent tricuspid valve operation for tricuspid valve disease due to permanent cardiac pacemaker lead from January 2008 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 12 males and 10 females, with a mean age of (62.

Background: Transvenous 3 permanent pacemaker-related infection is a severe condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Leadless pacemakers may be more resistant to bacterial seeding during bloodstream infection because of its small surface area and encapsulation in the right ventricle. This study reports the incidence and outcomes of bacteraemia in patients implanted with a Micra leadless pacemaker.
