Abstract:
Lead-related complications compose a noticeable share of device-related complications. Pacemaker lead perforation is a recognized complication of lead implantation, particularly with active fixation leads, and should be considered in postoperative lead malfunction cases. We herewith present 3 challenging cases with ventricular pacemaker lead dispositioning who were successfully treated via percutaneous access.
