摘要
We describe a case of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead infection that was diagnosed by means of sulesomab imaging whereas ultrasound examinations were inconclusive. Nuclear techniques may be helpful in such, not infrequent, settings. J Cardiovasc Med 10:883-884 (C) 2009 Italian Federation of Cardiology.
