Cardiology Department, Hospital Garcia de Orta, Pragal 2801-951, Almada, Portugal

Delayed pacemaker lead perforation is a very rare complication and most of the published reports involve active fixation leads. The authors report an uneventful transvenous extraction of a passive fixation lead, which had a delayed perforation of the right ventricle, disclosed two months after pacemaker implantation.

Key Words: Pacemaker, Delayed lead perforation, Lead extraction
