    Abstract:
    One of the most common complications of tricuspid valve replacement is atrioventricular block (AVB), often requiring permanent pacing. The endocardial pacemaker lead, placed in the right ventricle, may sometimes interfere with the implanted prosthesis, causing its early dysfunction and the need for alternative sites of pacing. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of a successful combined percutaneous procedure consisting of the implantation of two leads in the coronary sinus for univentricular bifocal pacing and a transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation in a young patient with severe dysfunction of the tricuspid bioprosthesis, requiring permanent pacing for a postsurgical complete atrioventricular block. Tricuspid valve replacement with surgery can often lead to cardiac rhythm disorders requiring a permanent pacemaker. This device may occasionally damage the tricuspid prosthesis. We present the first case of a combined procedure of tricuspid valve replacement and device implantation distant from the prosthesis without the need for a surgical approach in a young patient with severe tricuspid prosthesis malfunctioning and permanent pacing.
