Pneumopericardium and pneumothorax due to right atrial permanent pacemaker lead perforation.

Andrew Baird1, Mitesh Gandhi.   

Abstract

A 75-year-old man presented with a spontaneous right pneumothorax and pneumopericardium following right atrial pacemaker lead perforation, which is a rare complication, with only two case reports being documented in the literature to the authors' knowledge. It is important that radiologists be aware of cardiac lead perforations, as they may be the first to diagnose this complication.
