Lead fracture managed by reimplantation highlights ongoing pacemaker risks; leaves open incidence and prevention data.
Cardiac pacing is a rapidly advancing technique. There are many potential complications of pacemaker implantation. In view of increasing implantations of pacemakers, we must have some insight of possible complications. We describe here a case of pacing lead fracture which was managed by new lead implantation.
