Is transvenous right ventricular pacing feasible and safe in a patient with a mechanical tricuspid prosthesis?
Transvenous right ventricular pacing through a bileaflet mechanical tricuspid valve is feasible and may result in only minimal tricuspid regurgitation, offering an alternative to epicardial lead placement via thoracotomy.
Sierra et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Cardiovascular collapse requiring pacing in a patient with a tricuspid mechanical prosthesis (n=1). Transvenous right ventricular pacing through a tricuspid mechanical prosthesis was evaluated on Feasibility and hemodynamic stability of transvenous right ventricular pacing through a mechanical tricuspid valve. Transvenous right ventricular pacing was successfully accomplished by passing the electrode through a mechanical tricuspid valve, resulting in minimal tricuspid regurgitation and stable lead position.
