“…TTE and TEE can also delineate the course of the lead accurately, although the acoustic shadowing may cause echo drop‐outs 9 . With clinical suspicion, TTE and/or TEE can be a very useful tool to distinguish the misplaced pacing lead.…”

Malpositioned pacemaker lead in the left ventricle (LV) is a rare procedural complication, which causes a special risk of thromboembolic events. Hence, prompt identification and early management of misplaced leads inside the LV is critical. Herein, we present a case of malpositioned pacemaker lead with transient ischemic attacks after the pacemaker implantation. The misplaced ventricular lead was discovered during regular echocardiography. Both leads were extracted percutaneously after dabigatran treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of uncomplicated percutaneous extraction of an inadvertently placed LV lead after dabigatran treatment. No neurologic events during a follow‐up of 4 years.
