Although the internal cardioverter defibrillator has prevented many premature deaths from lethal ventricular arrhythmias, some complications have occurred with its use. We present a patient who developed a fistula between the left ventricle and a bronchus, caused by erosion of the ventricular patch. The patient's presenting symptom was hemoptysis. Physicians caring for patients with these devices should be aware of this potential problem.
尽管植入式心脏复律除颤器已预防了许多因致命性室性心律失常导致的过早死亡，但在其使用过程中仍出现了一些并发症。我们报告了一名患者，其因心室补片侵蚀导致左心室与支气管之间形成瘘管。该患者的主要症状是咯血。负责护理使用这些装置患者的医生应意识到这一潜在问题。
