Tricuspid valve dysfunction due to incarcerated right ventricular lead

Tricuspid incompetence due to right ventricular papillary muscle dysfunction.

Severe Tricuspid Valve Injury During Right Ventricular Lead Extraction.

Tricuspid valve stenosis due to a pacemaker lead.

the maximum gradient was 11 mm Hg, mean gradient 7.7 mm Hg, and the area was 0.76 cm2 (Figure 1). During surgery, we found a highly unstructured tricuspid valve with severe stenosis due to fusion of the commissures and thickening of the subvalvular apparatus (Figure 2A). The lead was embedded in one of the tricuspid leaflets (Figure 2B), and therefore, any attempt at repair was impossible. Valv...

The Right Ventricular Myxoma Which Attached to the Tricuspid Valve: Sliding Tricuspid Valvuloplasty

We report a rare case of an extremely large right ventricular myxoma involving the ventricular side of the tricuspid valve. The tumor was excised along with the entire posterior leaflet and part of the anterior leaflet. The tricuspid valve was repaired by sliding valvuloplasty combined with ring annuloplasty.

Prevention of right ventricular perforation due to temporary pacemaker lead during transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

We read with great interest the recently published paper by Rezq et al. (1), which described the experience of the authors with cardiac tamponade complicating transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The authors should be congratulated on sharing their experience and techniques to avoid this complication, which is associated with poor outcome. The authors identified that 52.9% of the card...
