Abstract
Extraction of three chronically implanted pacemaker leads was performed via the implant vein in a 71-year-old man. One of the leads broke in the subclavian scar tissue. The lead fragment migrated into the left peroneotibial trunk artery. Transesophageal echocardiography showed patent foramen ovale associated with right-to-left atrial shunt. This complication of lead extraction is discussed along with the role of echocardiography prior to lead removal.Entities:
