Long-term epicardial ventricular pacing from endocardial bipolar pacemaker lead: perforation of right atrial wall.

One of the hazards of endocardial cardiac pacing is that the pacemaker lead may perforate the myocardial wall or interventricular septum although the incidence of such perforations is believed to be small. This paper describes what is believed to be a unique case in which a pacemaker lead perforated the atrial wall at implantation (or possibly shortly afterwards) and yet gave satisfactory right...

Asymptomatic Right Ventricular Perforation by a Temporary Transvenous Pacing Lead in an Infant.

UNLABELLED A 3-month-old male infant received transvenous temporary pacemaker for acquired complete atrioventricular block. However, a right ventricle perforation by the pacing lead was found incidentally when the patient was receiving permanent pacemaker implantation nineteen days after temporary pacing. There was no pacemaker dysfunction, active bleeding or hemopericardium. The temporary paci...

Right ventricular perforation by a passive-fixation pacemaker lead.

Multimodality imaging of an unusual case of right ventricular lipoma.

A 57-year-old man presented with mild dyspnea and fatigue on exertion. He had a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results of the physical examination were normal, with the exception of a grade II ejection systolic murmur over the aortic area. ECG showed normal sinus rhythm. An echocardiogram was performed for evaluation of cardiac murmur. Transthoracic echocardiogram sho...
