- Abstract
Sanoussi, A., et al.: Late Right Ventricular Perforation After Permanent Pacemaker Implantation: How Far Can the Lead Go ? This case report describes the incredible dislocation of a right ventricular lead 1 month after pacemaker implantation. The lead's tip was found in the subcutaneous fat beneath the left breast. Extraction was uneventful. The key steps in the diagnosis and management of this rare complication are discussed. (PACE 2005; 28:723–725)
