Key result
Percutaneous intervention successfully treats rare subclavian puncture-induced LIMA graft perforation during pacemaker implantation.
Why the study?
Permanent pacemaker implantation via subclavian vein puncture is associated with a wide spectrum of complications, and perforation of the left internal mammary artery graft had not previously been described in the literature.

Reports successful percutaneous treatment of a left internal mammary artery graft perforation caused by pacemaker placement, highlighting a rare vascular complication.
Permanent pacemaker implantation via subclavian vein puncture is associated with a wide spectrum of complications. We describe a case of perforation of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) Graft perforation as a complication of permanent pacemaker implantation and its successful treatment by percutaneous intervention. To our knowledge this is the first such case to be described in literature.
