Abstract

A 79-year-old woman with a history of dilated cardiomyopathy who required a permanent peacemaker, recently upgraded to implantable cardioverter-defibrillator cardiac resynchronization therapy, was admitted for right heart failure. On echocardiography, torrential tricuspid regurgitation was noted, with 2 leads across the valve. After multidisciplinary evaluation, a dedicated transcatheter valve replacement was successfully implanted. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Keywords: endocardial leads; transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement; tricuspid regurgitation.
