title: Late perforation of Durata ICD lead--a case report.
abstract: Late ICD lead perforation is an uncommon but clinically significant complication. The pathophysiology, predictors, clinical presentations and management although have been described earlier but still remain inconclusive. Our case highlights the challenges involved in clinical recognition, the value of CT scan in its diagnosis and need for careful management of this potentially life threatening condition. It is the first report on Durata lead perforation to the best of our knowledge.
