Acute complications of pacemaker implantation such as lead dislodgement, pneumothorax, and myocardial perforation are not uncommon. Management of these usually requires reintervention. We herein describe lead perforation after a single chamber pacemaker implantation, which was successfully managed conservatively. This case underscores that vigilant monitoring post lead perforation can avoid a redo procedure.
