Cardiac perforation is an uncommon complication of transvenous pacemaker implantation typically occurring through the apex.
We report a case of patient, in whom ventricular lead perforation was confirmed 6 days after implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker. The ventricular lead was perforating the ventricular septum, near the left anterior descending artery, exiting the left ventricle. The patient underwent cardiac surgery due to the lead perforation as also as aortic valve replacement due to concomitant severe aortic valve stenosis.
The presented case report is a rare case of lead perforation through the LV and illustrates that lead perforation can still occur even after placement of the RV lead in septal position and even through the thick ventricular wall.
心脏穿孔是经静脉起搏器植入术罕见的并发症，通常发生于通过心尖部植入时。
我们报告一例患者，在双腔起搏器植入6天后证实发生心室导线穿孔。心室导线穿透室间隔，靠近左前降支，穿出左心室。由于导线穿孔以及合并严重主动脉瓣狭窄，患者接受了心脏手术及主动脉瓣置换术。
本病例报告是导线经左心室穿孔的罕见病例，表明即使右心室导线置于间隔位置且穿过较厚的心室壁后仍可能发生导线穿孔。
