Abstract
Permanent pacemaker lead perforation is a quiet rare but life-threatening complication. Perforations can be soon after procedure, early and late. Multiple factors are involved in evaluating the cause of lead perforation. We report a case of a delayed lead perforation in a patient after 6 months of permanent pacemaker implantation, who presented with syncopal episodes.
