Demonstrates successful management of a subacute right atrial perforation and lung migration by a pacemaker lead using manual traction and minithoracotomy.
We report an unusual case of subacute right atrial perforation by a screw-in pacemaker lead that migrated into the right lung causing hemopneumothorax 2 weeks after the procedure. After transvenous simple manual traction and minithoracotomy repair of the right atrial wall, the lead was repositioned without any complications. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)

Gianni et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Subacute right atrial pacemaker lead perforation into the right lung causing hemopneumothorax (n=1). Combined transvenous simple manual traction and right anterior minithoracotomy repair was evaluated on Successful lead repositioning and repair of right atrial wall without complications. Combined transvenous manual traction and minithoracotomy successfully repaired a subacute right atrial lead perforation into the right lung in a 53-year-old woman without complications.
