note = "Pacemaker and implantable defibrillator lead perforation, although relatively uncommon, is a recognized potential complication of pacemaker or defibrillator lead implantation. Published event rates range from 0.1\% to 0.8\% for pacemaker leads and 0.6-5.2\% for implantable defibrillator leads. Although most perforations are recognized during or shortly after implantation, subacute and late perforations have also been reported.",
