case_images: Moreover, he benefitted, two years ago, from a dual chamber St Jude Assarity Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) PM placement for an auriculoventricular block of 2 : 1, with leads placed in the right heart via the left jugular vein in the right atrium and right ventricle, respectively (Figure 1(a)). A cerebral MRI was performed and showed multiple ischemic lesions with embolic features (Figure 1(c)). The pacemaker box and its leads were removed on the 10th day and a temporary external pacemaker was placed (Figure 1(d)).
