    Abstract:
    Right ventricular perforation secondary to temporary pacemaker lead, resulting in cardiac tamponade, is a rare but life-threatening complication. Surgery is usually the definitive management described for such cases. We describe successful sealing of such a perforation by percutaneous instillation of cyanoacrylate glue, through a guiding catheter in the pericardial sac at the perforation site.
