Abstract

A case of interventricular septal perforation caused by a transvenous catheter electrode is presented. This complication occurred during temporary pacing and was first detected by a change in the pattern of depolarization shown on the electrocardiogram and later confirmed by thoracic roentgenogram and cinefluorography. Predisposing factors are discussed, and the need for electrocardiographic and radiographic monitoring is emphasized.
