Abstract:
We experienced tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) due to pacemaker lead adherence in an 81-year-old woman and in a 68-year-old woman, who both had right heart failure. The cause of TR was deformation of the tricuspid valve by pacemaker leads. Because of strong adherence between the lead and the leaflet or the tendinous cord, lead extraction and valve replacement were performed. The living lead was preserved by fixation at the septum wall outside the valve cuff in 1 patient. In the other patient, the epicardial lead was used for implantation because it was easier compared to intravenous lead implantation. The heart failure and TR improved after the operation in both patients.
