Right sided pacemaker.
Leads from a former left sided pacemaker retained without the pacemaker box in the chest wall.
Heart size normal. Lungs clear.
Case Discussion
A bit of a quirky radiograph with a whole set of retained pacemaker leads, without the box, on the left side as well as a new right sided pacemaker.
The left is usually the preferred site for an initial pacemaker.
