Transvenous right ventricular pacing in a patient with tricuspid mechanical prosthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a patient in whom permanent endocardial pacing was accomplished by passage of the electrode through a mechanical tricuspid valve. Echocardiography study showed a minimal tricuspid regurgitation.

Ventricular Pacing via the Coronary Sinus in a Patient with a Mechanical Tricuspid Valve Prosthesis
Implantation of a transvenous endocardial pacing lead in the right ventricle is contraindicated after mechanical tricuspid valve replacement; therefore a surgical approach to the epicardium is usually required. This case report describes ventricular pacing via a branch of the coronary sinus in a patient with mechanical mitral, aortic and tricuspid valve replacements. In conclusion, this approac...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Pacing in a Patient with a Mechanical Tricuspid Prosthesis and High Surgical Risk
Transvenous endocardial pacemaker (PM) implantation is contraindicated in patients with a mechanical tricuspid prosthesis. These patients usually undergo epicardial lead implantation. This case shows the implant of left ventricular (LV) pacing lead through the coronary sinus (CS) in a patient with high surgical risk. A 77-year-old woman with slow atrial fibrillation, left anterior hemiblock and...
متن کاملSingle site pacing through the anterior interventricular vein in a patient with a mechanic tricuspid valve
Transvenous endocardial pacing through classical implantation of a pace/sensing lead in the right ventricle is strictly contraindicated in patients with a mechanical tricuspid valve. Usually permanent pacing is achieved by an epimyocardial surgical approach. We hereby describe the implantation of a single site left ventricle pacing lead in the anterior interventricular vein in a 60 year-old wom...

89 coaptation, the patient was scheduled for tricuspid valve annuloplasty with concurrent implantation of an epicardial ventricular lead and pacemaker. The operation was preceded by the transvenous extraction of the old ventricular lead. Due to advanced tricuspid valve lesions, a decision was made during surgery to perform artificial tricuspid valve implantation (Medtronic ATS 33 mm). Simultane...
