Implication

Clinicians should consider CT for suspected high anterolateral atrial lead perforation; this case extends the reported spectrum of device-related complications.

Population

1 patient with an active-fixation pre-shaped atrial lead

Intervention

Active-fixation pre-shaped atrial lead placement and subsequent repositioning

Outcome

Pericardial effusion and right-sided pneumothoraxsafety

High anterolaterally positioned atrial screw-in leads carry a risk for right-sided pneumothorax and pericardial effusion due to perforation, which may require CT for visualization.
