Population

1 58-year-old male with aggravation of tricuspid regurgitation after pacemaker implantation for heart block.

Intervention

3-dimensional echocardiography

Outcome

Identification of the anatomical cause of tricuspid regurgitation (entrapment of pacemaker lead)

3D echocardiography is useful for identifying pacemaker lead entrapment as a cause of tricuspid regurgitation.
