✦ Synopsis
A case report is given on lethal perforation of the right ventricle during emergency implantation of a pacemaker probe. The forensic autopsy revealed extensive lipomatous infiltration of the right ventricle in the rupture area. Lethal complications occur occasionally in spite of the standardization of implantation techniques, especially as a result of reanimation attempts. Such cases are discussed with regard to the forensic aspects with reference to the literature. Lipomatosis cordis as "locus minoris resistentiae" has special significance for ventricular perforation.
