The coroner's concerns
1. delayed or missed extraction of infected pacemaker
“any opening of an implantation scar should be interpreted as a sign of systemic infection of the wound and that extraction and replacement of the pacemaker should follow in order to remove the infection”
2. delayed or missed referrals for pacemaker extraction
“lack of information sharing along a communication pathway between the Cardiology department and specialist surgical extraction team at Wythenshawe and the Cardiology departments at local treating hospitals”
