Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead perforation is a rare but serious complication of cardiac device implantation. Subacute (24 h to one month) and delayed (>1 month) presentations of rupture are also rare. Here we report a case of right ventricular perforation by a ventricular ICD lead in a 61-year-old man that was detected four months' postimplantation. The lead was present out from his chest wall and was palpable beneath the skin.
植入式心脏转复除颤器(ICD)导线穿孔是心脏设备植入罕见但严重的并发症。亚急性(24小时至1个月)和延迟(>1个月)的导线破裂表现也很罕见。在此,我们报告一例61岁男性患者,其心室ICD导线在植入后四个月被检测出发生右心室穿孔。导线穿出胸壁,在皮下可触及。
