Abstract
An elderly woman underwent placement of a pacemaker lead which was complicated by accidental azygos
vein cannulation and perforation. However not a very uncommon complication, we report here several
findings on CT-angiogram which highlight imaging pitfalls of this entity. We also review how the case was
clinically managed.
