Abstract
Cardiac perforation by pacemaker (PM) lead is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. The clinical presentation is highly variable. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with chest pain, dyspnea or tamponade. In this case, we report a patient with pacemaker implantation who developed a stubborn cough secondary to lead perforation.
