Spontaneous twisting of a pacemaker electrode is a rare complication following implantation. If present, the electrode usually is twisted close to the pacemaker. This report presents the case of a 71‐year‐old female patient without any complaint associated with the twisting of the electrode. Telemetric study showed no abnormality thus, any intervention was not performed.
