Why the study?
Cardiac perforation by CIED leads is a critical complication that typically occurs within 24 hours post-implantation but can occur later during the chronic period.
Highlights that cardiac perforation by a pacemaker lead, while typically an acute complication, can occur as a delayed event years after implantation.

Delayed right ventricular perforation years post-pacemaker warrants long-term vigilance; extends known complication timeline but leaves open risk factors.
Cardiac perforation by the lead of cardiac implantable electronic devices is a critical complication that often occurs within 24 h after the implantation but can occur later. We report a case of cardiac perforation of the right ventricular wall during the chronic period, 2 years after pacemaker implantation.
