Key Clinical Message Management of lead malposition is crucial to avoid complications and is carried out on case‐by‐case bases. The 12‐lead ECG during pacing and chest X‐ray are essential during initial workup and recommended for new patients to the device clinic. Echocardiography and CT scan are important to confirm the location and plan appropriate therapy.
