Key result
Passive fixation ventricular lead causes rare tricuspid valve entanglement during permanent pacing.
Why the study?
Modern pacing leads are designed to minimize trauma to intracardiac structures, but unusual complications with passive fixation ventricular leads can occur.
Highlights a rare complication of passive fixation ventricular leads becoming entangled in the tricuspid valve.
Modern pacing leads are designed to minimize the risk of trauma to intracardiac structures. This case illustrates an unusual complication of permanent pacing using a passive fixation ventricular lead.
