Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Lead Perforation Complicated by Left Ventricular Thrombus

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A 72-year-old woman underwent left bundle branch area pacing, and subsequent transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated potential septal lead perforation. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed an intracardiac mass, which resolved with anticoagulation. This case highlights left ventricular thrombus as a potential complication of septal lead perforation.
