BLOMMAERT, D., et al. : Loss of Left Ventricular Epicardial Lead Capture Due to Pneumothorax. Pneumothorax is a rare complication of pacemaker lead insertion by subclavian way. We report a case of temporary ineffective biventricular pacing due to pneumothorax. This complication has to be ruled out before electing to reposition or to replace the lead.
