  • Title: [Perforation of the right ventricular wall and extraction into the left thoracic cavity by a permanent endocardial pacemaker lead: a case report].

    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1994 Aug; 47(9):730-1. PubMed ID: 8057559.
    Abstract:
    A 80-year-old woman with right ventricular wall perforation and extraction into the left thoracic cavity by a permanent endocardial pacemaker (PM) lead was presented. The patient underwent an insertion of a permanent endocardial lead into the apex of the right ventricle for the treatment of sick sinus syndrome. The right ventricular perforation of the PM lead was incidentally diagnosed by recognizing it into the left thoracic cavity three months after the operation. Another PM lead could be inserted without removal of the former one.
