  • Title: Ventricular pacing in the presence of tricuspid valve disease.
    Author: Davidson NC, Mond HG.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 2002 Feb; 25(2):129-31. PubMed ID: 11915977.
    Abstract:
    Pacemaker implantation following tricuspid valve surgery remains challenging, but recent developments in lead technology have significantly improved the options for ventricular pacing. In the presence of significant tricuspid regurgitation, steroid-eluting active-fixation leads should be used routinely, and in patients with a tricuspid prosthesis, the use of a dedicated cardiac venous pacing system is likely to be the best option.
