Misplaced Pacemaker Lead

Imaging findings

Frontal radiograph appears normal, but lateral view shows a ventricular lead deviating posteriorly. Cross-sectional imaging confirms the lead crossed the atrial septum into the left ventricle.

Key takeaways

Lateral views of pacemaker leads are essential to rule out malposition, such as passing through the atrial septum into the LV (via a PFO or septal puncture).
