Key result
Double valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair without removal of the pre-existing pacemaker lead was successfully performed in a patient with pacemaker-induced severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the feasibility of performing double valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair without removing a pre-existing pacemaker lead in a patient with pacemaker-induced severe tricuspid regurgitation.
May support lead preservation during valve surgery for pacemaker-induced TR; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before practice change.
Severe and permanent tricuspid regurgitation induced by pacemaker leads is rarely reported in the literature. The mechanism of pacemaker-induced tricuspid regurgitation has been identified, but its management has not been well established. Furthermore, debate still exists regarding the proper surgical approach. We present the case of a patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation induced by a pacemaker lead, accompanied by triple valve disease. The patient underwent double valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair without removal of the pre-existing pacemaker lead. The operation was successful and the surgical procedure is discussed in detail.

Lee et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Severe tricuspid regurgitation induced by a pacemaker lead, accompanied by triple valve disease (n=1). Double valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair without removal of the pre-existing pacemaker lead was evaluated on Surgical success. Double valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair without removal of the pre-existing pacemaker lead was successfully performed in a patient with pacemaker-induced severe tricuspid regurgitation.
