Abstract:
A tined pacemaker electrode was entrapped in the tricuspid valve apparatus. Nonresponding, sustained ventricular tachycardia, and cardiac arrest necessitated forcible removal of the electrode causing partial avulsion of the tricuspid valve. Hemodynamically insignificant tricuspid regurgitation developed subsequently.
