Key result
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was beneficial in evaluating an incidental finding of pacemaker lead malposition in the left ventricle prior to lead extraction.
Why the study?
Inadvertent endocardial lead malposition is a rare, underreported incident that can be corrected if recognized during implantation.

Vigilance during implantation detects rare LV lead malposition; this case leaves optimal screening and follow-up open.
Case Report (n=1)
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provides valuable anatomical information prior to the extraction of inadvertently malpositioned left ventricular pacemaker leads.
Luke et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Permanent pacemaker lead malposition in the left ventricle (n=1). Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnosis and evaluation prior to lead extraction. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was beneficial in evaluating an incidental finding of pacemaker lead malposition in the left ventricle prior to lead extraction.
