    Temporary pacing is indicated in severe hemodynamic impairment due to sudden onset of acquired bradyarrhythmias. Complications associated with temporary pacing implantation can occur either during or ... after implantation. Among the most frequent serious complications are lead displacement and dysfunction, catheter knotting, ventricular arrythmia, inadequate stimulation, thrombosis, infection and septal or ventricular wall perforation. The paper presents a patient with a sudden onset of pericardial effusion after temporary transvenous pacemakerimplantation due to perforation of the right ventricular arrhythmia and arterial hypotension. He was treated with an IV infusion of fluids and pacemaker lead displacement. The epidemiology , management and clinical consequences of perforation, especially cardiac tamponade, are discussed. It was concluded that patients should be closely observed during and after temporary transvenous pacemaker implantation. Echocardiography is important, but the clinical situation necessitates urgent therapeutic procedures.
