M‐mode and two‐dimensional echocardiographic evaluation of a patient with rheumatic heart disease and an atrioventricular sequential pacemaker with a coronary sinus lead showed an echo‐producing mass in the left atrium. A repeat study after the coronary sinus lead was replaced by a right atrial screw‐in lead revealed the disappearance of the echo‐producing mass.
