title: Marked ST-segment elevation during permanent pacemaker implantation.
abstract: Some acute complications are known during permanent pacemaker implantation such as pneumothorax, lead perforation, lead dislodgement, and hemorrhage. ST-segment elevation in electrocardiogram during implantation is rare, but it might indicate critical complication like myocardial ischemia or ventricular perforation. Physicians should pay attention about ST-segment change during pacemaker implantation.
