AbstractA fragment of a fractured Telectronics Atrial Accufix 330-801 lead asymptomatically perforated the adjacent bronchus and was detected on routine chest X-ray. The metallic fragment was located by chest CT scan and bronchial fluoroscopy to lie between the right lobar bronchus and the pulmonary artery, confirming bronchial perforation. The foreign body was removed without complication by direct visualisation with rigid bronchoscopy.
