  • Title: Permanent left ventricular pacing from the great cardiac vein of a patient with artificial tricuspid and mitral valves--a case report.
    Author: Batur MK, Akgül E, Ovünç K.
    Journal: Angiology; 2000 Dec; 51(12):1027-30. PubMed ID: 11132995.
    Abstract:
    Transvenous placement of a right ventricular pacemaker lead through the artificial tricuspid valve is a known contraindication, and in this situation, epicardial pacemaker implantation is the procedure of choice. However, permanent pacemaker implantation is a subject for debate when the use of the epicardial route is impossible. This report describes alternate transvenous routes for a pacemaker lead in a patient with an artificial tricuspid valve and mitral valve in whom the epicardial lead and pacemaker generator must be removed because of resistant infection.
