  • Title: "The attack of the 52 cm lead": an unusual case of late cardiac perforation by a passive-fixation permanent pacemaker lead.
    Author: Ramirez MF, Ching CK, Ho KL, Teo WS.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2007 Jan 31; 115(1):e5-7. PubMed ID: 16901560.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of right ventricular perforation by a passive-tined permanent pacemaker lead detected 1 month after implantation. The pacemaker lead was seen to perforate through the myocardium and pericardium and moving freely in the mediastinum with no evidence of pericardial effusion. Extraction was uneventful.
