Key result
A 66-year-old female developed cardiogenic shock secondary to cardiac tamponade from right ventricular perforation within 24 hours of dual chamber permanent pacemaker implantation.

May prompt closer post-pacemaker monitoring for early tamponade; single case leaves open incidence and risk-factor questions.
Case Report (n=1)
Pacemaker-lead-associated right ventricular perforation is a life-threatening complication that requires urgent intervention in hemodynamically unstable patients.
Khalid et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Right ventricular perforation post pacemaker insertion complicated with cardiac tamponade (n=1). Dual chamber permanent pacemaker placement was evaluated on Right ventricular perforation and cardiac tamponade. A 66-year-old female developed cardiogenic shock secondary to cardiac tamponade from right ventricular perforation within 24 hours of dual chamber permanent pacemaker implantation.
