Dislodgment of an atrial screw‐in pacing lead is quite rare. This report describes a rare case of an atrial screw‐in lead dislodgment 10 years after implantation. Although it is an uncommon complication, very late dislodgment can occur postoperatively, and careful follow‐up is necessary. (PACE 2004; 27:264–265)
