[Occurrence of an exceptional complication in an attempt to apply temporary pacemaking].
The case study reports the case of a female patient who, during an admission exam in an area medical centre, presented with severe symptomatic bradyarrhythmia and the need for temporary external pacemaking. The first attempt to perform temporary transvenous pacemaking failed and was accompanied by a rare but serious iatrogenic complication which necessitated heart surgery. The case study is completed with illustrative figures.
