Tricuspid valve perforation with pacemaker lead is one of the extremely rare complications of transvenous pacemaker implantation. Approximately all reported cases have been diagnosed at autopsy. The authors present a case of tricuspid valve perforation caused by pacemaker lead that was diagnosed during cardiac surgery and treated successfully by removing the lead and suturing the tricuspid valve.
