Abstract

We present the case of a 76-year-old patient, admitted to the Critical Care Unit, in which, in the course of the first hours after the implantation of a permanent pacemaker, he suffered a picture of severe hemodynamic shock, showing massive hemothorax in the side of the implant, being diagnosed of pseudoaneurysm in a dependent branch of the right mammary artery, by means of computed tomography, and treated through endovascular approach.
