title: Tricuspid Valve Replacement Preserving Endocardial Pacemaker Lead.
abstract: We describe a simple and reliable technique to replace the tricuspid valve preserving a permanent endocardial pacemaker lead. This technique avoids any direct contact between the pacemaker lead and the prosthetic valve, which protects the pacemaker lead from the mechanical stress of the valve prosthesis and preserves the prosthetic valve's function. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12747 (J Card Surg 2016;31:311-314).
