It was reported that a patient stated the dbs system had been removed due to recurrent infections occurring two to three times.The patient reported being hospitalized from christmas eve to christmas day, at which time the implanted neurostimulator battery was removed and a "cord" was left in place in an emergency situation.The patient stated that several weeks later the cord became infected, resulting in another hospitalization for approximately five days, and they removed the cord.The patient reported that after the infection initially appeared to clear, a new dbs system was implanted, but the patient did not realize it had become affected.The patient also stated that they still have the stitches now, and they were later readmitted because the antibiotics being given were not effective against the bacteria involved, and a picc line was placed to administer a different medication.See pe 709016640 for infection/explant/ leads remained/re-implantation planned.
