Inadvertent left ventricular pacing through the pericardium

Inadvertent left ventricular pacing through the pericardium
Inadvertent left ventricular pacing through the pericardium
Inadvertent placement of a pacemaker lead in the left ventricle (LV) is a rare complication of pacing. We describe a case of inadvertent LV pacing where the ventricular lead traversed the mediastinum and accessed the heart through the posterior wall of the left atrium. Both transesophageal echo and venography were useful in understanding the course of the misplaced lead, which was removed percutaneously without complication.

Abstract

Inadvertent placement of a pacemaker lead in the left ventricle (LV) is a rare complication of pacing. We describe a case of inadvertent LV pacing where the ventricular lead traversed the mediastinum and accessed the heart through the posterior wall of the left atrium. Both transesophageal echo and venography were useful in understanding the course of the misplaced lead, which was removed percutaneously without complication.
