Subclavian crush syndrome is a well‐described cause of pacemaker lend failure resulting from an entrapment of a lead or leads between the clavicle and the first rib. A new thinner lead (Thin Line tm ) was designed to minimize this complication. Our patient de veloped atrial and ventricular lead subclavian crush syndrome with both conventional and thin leads.
