Pacemaker (PM) lead perforation is a rare complication with an incidence of <1%. Late lead perforation is defined as the perforation of a device lead through the myocardium more than 1 month after implantation. It is a subcategory of overall lead perforation and it has been described in several case reports. In the current paper, we present two cases with late partial lead perforation developing after the PM implantation.
