A rare case of late right ventricular perforation by a passive-fixation permanent pacemaker lead.

The present paper is an interesting and rare complication of implantation of a permanent pacemaker lead. The rarity of the case is based upon that ventricular perforation is usually present during implantation, whereas in our case, it was presented late--1 month after implantation. Furthermore, in our case, the pacemaker lead had migrated through the left hemidiaphragm into the peritoneal cavity.
