Description
We present a case of a migrated ventricular pacing lead after 1 month of implantation. Enhanced computed tomography allowed for the exact diagnosis. Defibrillator lead perforations are widely described. Although most pacemaker lead perforations are usually recognized during or shortly after implantation, late perforations can occur.
