What are the clinical and diagnostic features of myocardial perforation caused by flexible Elema endocardial pacing catheters?
Myocardial perforation by flexible Elema pacing catheters presents with pacing failure and diaphragmatic pacing, and can be diagnosed via radiological and ECG changes and managed by catheter repositioning.
Hurwitz et al. (1974) studied this question.
