If you want to go outside of Texas below are two hospitals that are known world wide for their cardiology departments. Although I doubt that you can do much better than the Austin group, the Heart Hospital in Houston, or Scott & White in Temple. I'm sure there are others in Texas but I know people that have used these.

For a malpractice attorney just watch TV one day. I see the blood suckers advertising on there every day.

Sorry I forgot to add that obviously they extracted my leads and pacer from the left, gave me antibiotics and put my new pacemaker on the right side. I had a few complications but they were fully prepared to handle anything that came.

I just had came back 3 weeks ago from a month at the Cleveland Clinic. They had found infection on my leads at the hospital around where I live. I have a very extensive medical history and many things that make extracting my leads very dangerous. They were amazing there! I am so glad that I went there! Go onto there website that J.B. listed above. It is really informative. Any questions feel free to ask.
