Endocardial ventricular pacing through a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve.
A patient with bioprosthetic tricuspid valve was treated with ventricular endocardial pacing using a new delivery system consisting of a steerable catheter and a 4.1 F bipolar, fixed-screw, steroid eluting lead. The functioning of the lead and bioprosthetic tricuspid valve was excellent during the following year.
