Abstract
Right ventricular perforation by a temporary endocardial pacing electrode can be fatal and needs to be detected promptly. This usually symptomatic situation is diagnosed by X-ray or echocardiographic findings. We present the case of a patient with an asymptomatic right ventricular perforation, in whom serial electrocardiograms enabled us to detect the displacement of the right ventricular lead.
