Article Synopsis
- Cardiac perforation is a rare but serious complication that can occur during the implantation of transvenous pacemakers, most commonly at the apex of the heart.
- A case was reported where a patient's ventricular lead perforated the ventricular septum six days post-pacemaker implantation, resulting in the lead exiting the left ventricle and causing the need for cardiac surgery.
- This case highlights that even with proper lead placement in the right ventricle, perforation can still happen, illustrating the risks associated with pacemaker procedures.
