Abstract

Tricuspid valve (TV) surgery represents a complex consideration regarding lead management in patients with a transvenous ICD. The presented case shows favorable short-term results after lead sparing TV replacement, leaving an ICD lead in a paravalvular position. The described technique can be used in challenging cases of TV replacement.

Keywords: cardiac pacing; congenital heart disease; tricuspid valve surgery.
