There have been numerous complications described concerning temporary epicardial pacing wires including infection, bleeding, and coronary artery graft disruption. We report a case in which the heart was ensnared by the pacing wire, resulting in cardiac decompensation during attempted removal. This complication may be avoided by assuring that a smaller loop of pacing wire remains in the pericardium.
