ABSTRACT

We present a 69-year-old male patient with diagnosis of complete atrioventricular block, placing a temporary pacemaker that was in an abnormal position by echocardiographic study. Even though no symptoms presented, we made up our mind to perform a reparation of a free wall right ventricle perforation through a subxiphoid approach. Lead was pulled out, and an epicardial definitive pacemaker was placed, with a satisfactory evolution of the patient.
