Key result
Optimal management of inadvertent RV lead placement in the LV remains unclear due to rarity.
Why the study?

Late discovery of inadvertent LV lead placement risks thromboembolism; case reports leave optimal management open.
Case Report
Inadvertent placement of an RV lead in the left ventricle is a rare complication that can cause systemic thromboembolism and requires multidisciplinary management.
Contractor et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Inadvertent lead placement in the left ventricle via a patent foramen ovale. Management of inadvertent lead placement was evaluated. The optimal management strategy for inadvertent placement of a right ventricular lead in the left ventricle remains unclear owing to its rarity.
