[Left ventricular insertion of a permanent pacemaker (radiographic aspect)].
We report a case of inadvertent transarterial permanent pacing of the left ventricule that was not diagnosed on routine chest radiography or ECG. The malposition was diagnosed because of the rupture of the mitral valve cordage 2 months after pacemaker implantation. We emphasize the radiographic appearance of this rare malposition.
