Abstract
Subacute lead perforation of the right ventricle caused acute, reactive, acalculous cholecystis, which initially distracted the attention of physicians from the development of hematopericard. Implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator in a young patient after sudden cardiac arrest, but before treatment of significant stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery, resulted in a life-threatening condition only 36 days after arrest. After removing the implantable cardioverter defibrillator, there was no sign of pathological cardiac rhythm disorders.
