Abstract

This is the case of a young asymptomatic patient who has a permanent pacemaker implanted 17 years ago. In an echo control exam, we observed significant tricuspid stenosis and moderate regurgitation. The tricuspid cusps showed organic involvement because of direct contact with a pacemaker lead loop catheter.
