Inappropriate ICD Discharges Due to Noise Oversensing as the First Sign of Repetitive Perforations of the Right Ventricular Lead

Acute lead perforation is one of the major complications associated with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation. We describe a case with repetitive inappropriate ICD discharges due to noise oversensing as the first sign of lead perforation.
