Permanent pacemaker implantation is life saving but sometimes the procedure may itself become life threatening. Right ventricular perforation is a rare complication during pacemaker insertion that could be life-threatening and need immediate intervention. Chest X-ray, echocardiogram and computer tomogram of chest are used to diagnose lead migration and its complications. We present a rarest of the rare case in which a seventy six year old patient undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation
