Transvenous endocardial right ventricular pacing in a case with prosthetic tricuspid valve

Abstract

An alternate site pacing is preferred over a standard right ventricular (RV) transvenous endocardial pacing in a patient with prosthetic tricuspid valve, as later may result in valve or pacing lead malfunction. We hereby report a female who had favorable 5-years outcome following endocardial RV pacing through a prosthetic tricuspid valve.
