Right Ventricular Perforation and Left Hemothorax by Permanent Transveneous Pacemaker Lead: Report of 1 Case / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Bleeding due to cardiac perforation by endocardial pacemaker lead is a rare complication. We report one case of left hemothorax due to right ventricular perforation after the insertion of permanent transvenous pacemaker. Operative finding showed a pacing lead penetrating right ventricle, pericardium, and left pleura sequentially, but there was no evidence of hemopericardium.
