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