Abstract


A case of permanent pacemaker electrode-induced perforation in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University was collected and analyzed on the basis of diagnosis, physical examination and treatment. Cardiac perforation is one of the most serious complications of pacemaker implantation. As this disease is rare, it is easy to be misdiagnosed or missed diagnosis. We hope to improve the clinician’s awareness and vigilance of permanent pacemaker electrode perforation by analyzing the data of this case.
