Iatrogenic complications may manifest in a variety of ways. We present the case of an 86-year-old woman who underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention with a drug-eluting stent for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction followed by leadless pacemaker placement through a femoral approach. Her post-procedure course was complicated by new onset high-output heart failure secondary to iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula formation, requiring covered stent placement. ().
