With the increasing number of implanted leadless pacemakers, complications related to the implantation procedure are being reported. We herein report a case of an 87‐year‐old male with an arteriovenous fistula after leadless pacemaker implantation due to an anomaly of the right deep femoral artery (DFA). In this present case, a right DFA arising from the antero‐medial side of the main femoral artery was attributed to this complication.
