Abstract
A 67-year-old male patient with previous history of pulmonary tuberculosis presented with syncope due to complete heart block. Collapse of the right lung and deviation of the heart to the right chest had prevented visualization of the cardiac silhouette by fluoroscopy. Successful endocardial permanent pacing using a passive fixation electrode was achieved with the help of ultrasonic visualization of the cardiac chambers.Keywords
