Abstract

Apical RV lead positioning was significantly associated with an increased risk of lead perforation. Although perforation was uncommon, prompt diagnosis and individualized management ensured favorable outcomes. Careful attention to lead tip location during implantation may help mitigate this risk. Given the small number of events, this finding should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating.
