Implication

May support coronary vein pacing post-tricuspid replacement; leaves open prospective validation in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

Population

8 patients with tricuspid valve replacement (n=7) or after tricuspid valve repair (n=1)

Intervention

Coronary vein (CV) leads for left ventricular epicardial pacing implanted transvenously (7 patients received bended CV leads with a microporous tip, 1 patient received a CV lead with stimulation via metal ring)

Outcome

Procedural complications and stimulation thresholdssurrogate

Coronary vein leads offer a safe, minimally invasive alternative for permanent cardiac pacing with stable stimulation thresholds in patients who have undergone tricuspid valve replacement.
