| Core Tip |
Pacemaker lead-induced heart perforation is a rare but life-threatening complication of pacemaker implantation. Further, timely diagnosis remains a challenge for clinicians. Here, we report a novel case of right ventricular apex perforation by pacemaker lead associated with pericardial tamponade, which was rapidly diagnosed by a unique “bow-and-arrow” sign on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). We also propose a step-wise diagnostic approach using POCUS to enhance diagnostic speed and accuracy for lead-induced heart perforation. This step-wise ultrasonographic approach and the “bow-and-arrow” sign on POCUS are helpful for rapid diagnosis of lead perforation. |
