[Surgical Repair for Right Ventricular Perforation due to Leadless Pacemaker Implantation:Report of a Case].

An 87-years-old woman with a history of right mastectomy for breast cancer, currently undergoing chemotherapy for multiple metastasis via a central venous catheter placed in the left subclavian vein, presented with bradycardia and dyspnea. Electrocardiogram revealed a 2:1 atrioventricular block. Implantation of a leadless pacemaker (LLPM) was planned for the patient. During implantation, right ventricular rupture occurred. Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support was initiated immediately. Subsequently, emergency surgery was performed. LLPM is considered a useful and safe device;however, serious complication, such as cardiac injury, have been reported in a small number of cases. Thorough risk assessment and preparation for complication, including cardiac surgery, may be life-saving.
