Key result
Inappropriate ICD discharges due to noise oversensing can present as the first clinical sign of repetitive right ventricular lead perforations.
Clinicians should consider lead perforation when evaluating inappropriate ICD discharges caused by noise oversensing.
Consider perforation in ICD noise oversensing; case report leaves open confirmation in larger cohorts.
Acute lead perforation is one of the major complications associated with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation. We describe a case with repetitive inappropriate ICD discharges due to noise oversensing as the first sign of lead perforation.
