Tricuspid valve replacement in pacemaker lead-associated tricuspid regurgitation

Abstract

One of the most common and at the same time formidable complications of cardiovascular diseases are cardiac arrhythmias. As the number of implantable devices grows annually, the question of the development of tricuspid insufficiency after pacemaker implantation is increasingly being raised. This complication is a serious problem, since it is directly related to a decrease in patient survival. Clinical observations of the development of severe tricuspid valve insufficiency after pacemaker implantation are presented. The results of the development of this complication have been analyzed.

Keywords:insufficiency of the tricuspid valve, diagnosis, pacemaker
