Lead dislodgements, tricuspid valve failure, and wound infections are prominent issues addressed by leadless pacemakers (LPM). These devises have emerged as viable alternatives to conventional transvenous pace.

ABSTRACT Leadless pacemakers as the Medtronic Micra AV, have improved cardiac pacing by reducing complications associated with traditional systems. Right atrial function, particularly the tricuspidal E wave deceleration time, emerged as the only independent predictor of AVS ( p =0.03), with an AUC of 0.77.

Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) is associated with increased mortality. Change in TR severity with transvenous pacemaker (PPM) and implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead extraction has been poorly studied.

ABSTRACT Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, and atrioventricular (AV) node ablation with pacemaker implantation is a therapeutic option for refractory cases. However, AV node ablation in patients with bioprosthetic tricuspid valves poses technical challenges.

ABSTRACT Introduction A leadless pacemaker (LLPM) was recommended for a patient with intermittent complete heart block and near-syncope. The LLPM could not traverse the tricuspid valve. Methods and Results Delivery of LLPM is through a large sheath that has limited deflection and steerability.

Written by Willy Frick A man in his 70s with a history of HFrEF and sick sinus syndrome s/p dual chamber pacemaker placement was admitted for overnight observation following outpatient placement of a mitral valve clip. This is unambiguous evidence of pacemaker malfunction. Imagine the pacemaker is set at a minimum rate of 60.

Methods and Results A 78-year-old female with severe tricuspid regurgitation received two TriClip devices. Postprocedure, frequent significant sinus pauses required a pacemaker. HBP was chosen to avoid lead complications. Under local anesthesia, a His pacing lead was inserted via the axillary vein using specialized catheter.

Leadless pacemakers (LP) are being increasingly utilized to avoid complications associated with transvenous pacemakers, such as infection, venous occlusion, tricuspid regurgitation, and lead related complications (dislodgment, fracture, or insulation failure).

BACKGROUND:This study aimed to compare the incidence and prognostic implications of new-onset conduction disturbances after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortic stenosis (AS) versus patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) AS (ie, BAV-AS and TAV-AS, respectively).

Tricuspid valve replacement was performed in 26 (53%) patients including 19 (73%) cases of combined pulmonary valve replacement. Epicardial pacemakers were systematically implanted in operated patients and 25% were permanently paced. A postoperative positive right ventricular remodelling was observed (p<0.001).

Methods This is a single-centre, retrospective, observational study of patients with BAV treated with TAVI.

I’d guess the overall rhythm is sinus, perhaps with a wandering atrial pacemaker and very frequent ventricular ectopy with multiple couplets. Perhaps the patient has pulmonary hypertension and/or tricuspid regurgitation? In the meantime, a pacemaker may be needed. =

And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. In right atrial tracing, this occurs at the time of right ventricular contraction, with bulging upwards of the tricuspid valve. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade.

Again, see Ken's discussion below) Discussion continued The absence of pace spikes suggests this is not a pacemaker/ICD-related rhythm in this patient with an ICD. This physical exam sign is seen with AV dissociation — and results from right atrial contraction against a closed tricuspid valve. Where does the QRS begin?
