ABSTRACT
Late-onset migration of pacing leads in the left hemithorax is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. Radiological examinations are required to detect any involvement of either left ventricle or lung parenchyma, prompting immediate surgical extraction in this setting. Identification of high-risk patients is mandatory to prevent this complex iatrogenic complication.
