Implication

Alerts to tricuspid injury risk during forcible lead extraction; extends sparse case evidence but leaves optimal strategies open.

Key Points

To describe the emergency management and structural valve complications associated with an entrapped tined pacemaker lead.
Clinical case evaluation of an entrapped tined pacemaker electrode in the tricuspid valve apparatus.
Emergency manual extraction performed following unresponsive sustained ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest.
Forced removal of the entrapped lead caused partial avulsion of the tricuspid valve.
The patient developed hemodynamically insignificant tricuspid regurgitation following extraction.

Population

A patient with a tined pacemaker electrode entrapped in the tricuspid valve apparatus

Intervention

Forcible removal of the entrapped pacemaker electrode

Forcible removal of an entrapped tined pacemaker electrode can cause tricuspid valve avulsion and regurgitation.
