[I thought it was right... Late diagnosis of accidental lead misplacement in the left ventricle across patent foramen ovale].

Accidental lead misplacement in the left ventricle is a rare complication, which should be diagnosed early and treated with lead removal. In case of late diagnosis, chronic anticoagulant therapy or, if the patient needs cardiac surgery for other reasons, surgical lead removal are recommended. In the present case, lead misplacement occurred at the time of a traditional pacemaker implantation due to bradycardia.
