We describe the closure of a subclavian artery puncture site with a percutaneous suture device after removal of a pacemaker lead 1 week after its inadvertent positioning in the left ventricle via the subclavian artery. The lead was retracted from the left ventricle into the aorta and linked to a guiding catheter introduced via femoral artery access. The lead and the guiding catheter were removed from the artery to the subclavian area. This manoeuvre allowed the placement of a percutaneous arterial suture device (Perclose) to close the puncture site.
