Feasibility of tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement in a patient with transvalvular pacemaker
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement is an attractive alternative to redo open-heart surgery for failing bioprosthetic valves and is increasingly being performed in patients with high surgical risk. Unlike the robust data on aortic valve-in-valve replacement, limited experience with tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement has been reported. Moreover, the feasibility and safety of tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation in patients with a transvenous permanent pacemaker are largely unexplored.

Right sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
متن کاملTricuspid Valve Endocarditis in an Intravenous Drug Abuser: A Case Report
Recently, there have been more reports of cardiac valve infections due to the increasing number of intravenous (IV) drug abusers and chronic renal failure patients. Among cardiac valves, tricuspid valve is most commonly affected in the course of endocarditis. Appropriate management of these patients is a challenging and controversial issue in the field of cardiac surgery. Treatment options in s...
متن کاملHealth-Related Quality of Life after Valve Replacement Surgery
Background: Heart valve disease gradually increases the pressure in the heart chambers and impairs heart pumping. It influences on quality of life due to low output, disability, fear, amnesia, anxiety, and depression. Although most of signs and symptoms in patients with heart valve diseases may significantly decrease after valve replacement surgery, there is limited information about the impact...
متن کاملTransvenous valve-in-valve replacement preserving the function of a transvalvular defibrillator lead.
Although feasibility and efficacy of percutaneous tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation have been established, a transtricuspid pacing or defibrillator lead might preclude this technique: lead damage can cause lead dysfunction resulting in inappropriate or inefficient pacing or shocks. In these cases, lead removal is thought to be the only option. We describe a patient who presented with rapid ...

A patient presenting with a pacemaker lead infection and tricuspid regurgitation underwent a minimally invasive video-assisted tricuspid valve replacement. The valve was approached through a right anterior mini thoracotomy. Under thoracoscopic vision and peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass, a catheter was placed on the ascending aorta for antegrade cardioplegia delivery. A transthoracic aortic cr...
