An Unusual Cause of Cerebral Embolism: PFO-Straddling, Spontaneously Fractured Pacemaker Lead

We report an exceptionally rare complication of cardiac pacing: a case of spontaneous fracture of a modern bipolar pacing lead that led to migration across a patent foramen ovale into the left atrium and embolic stroke. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
