infections

My cardiologist removed pacemaker and leads on 5 9 2014 due to infection. I was in the hospital for five days with antibiotics. The Jackson Pratt drain was removed, later same day a hematoma developed. I went to ER where surgery was performed opening pacemaker pocket open, staples removed incision made to drain everything. I was treated in the hospital for another five days and sent home with wound vac and infusion of antibiotics. Have others had similar complications?

I did not have such a horrid experience, but I wish you well and hope you are on the mend soon! Keep us posted.
