Abstract

Abstract: Cardiac perforation and intracardiac thrombosis are infrequent complications after implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) implantation, and a case of lead perforation complicated by thrombosis is extremely rare. We report the case of a 66‐year‐old man with delayed ICD lead perforation concomitant with intracardiac lead thrombosis successfully treated by anticoagulant therapy followed by transvenous lead management.
