An Interesting Case of Acute Asymptomatic Lead Perforation of a Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker

Acute complications of pacemaker implantation such as lead dislodgement, pneumothorax, and myocardial perforation are not uncommon. Management of these usually requires reintervention. We herein describe lead perforation after a single chamber pacemaker implantation, which was successfully managed c...

description Acute complications of pacemaker implantation such as lead dislodgement, pneumothorax, and myocardial perforation are not uncommon. Management of these usually requires reintervention. We herein describe lead perforation after a single chamber pacemaker implantation, which was successfully managed conservatively. This case underscores that vigilant monitoring post lead perforation can avoid a redo procedure.
