Inadvertent Left Ventricular Pacemaker Placement

Imaging findings

Pacemaker lead crossing from the right atrium into the left atrium/ventricle via the septum. Lead positioning appeared normal on initial scout views but was posteriorly displaced on sagittal CT.

Key takeaways

Perforation of the septum can lead to unintentional left ventricular pacing, which may go undetected for years if not specifically interrogated.
