The mechanism of endocardial lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation
2013
Using this case report we attempt to define the mechanism of endocardial lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in particular the direct effect of endocardial pacing leads on the competence of the tricuspid valve. We recommend a high index of suspicion and an early diagnostic strategy in order to reduce long-term morbidity which is associated with this condition and the need for a potentially avoidable surgery.
