  • Title: An unusual way to diagnose asymptomatic right ventricular perforation by a temporary endocardial pacing electrode.
    Author: Deprez F, Blommaert D, De Roy L.
    Journal: Eur J Emerg Med; 2003 Sep; 10(3):250-1. PubMed ID: 12972908.
    Abstract:
    Right ventricular perforation by a temporary endocardial pacing electrode can be fatal and needs to be detected promptly. This usually symptomatic situation is diagnosed by X-ray or echocardiographic findings. We present the case of a patient with an asymptomatic right ventricular perforation, in whom serial electrocardiograms enabled us to detect the displacement of the right ventricular lead.
