Description
Summary:WINTER, J., et al.: Long‐Term Follow‐Up of Left Ventricular Pacing via a Posterior Cardiac Vein After Mechanical Tricuspid Valve Replacement. Permanent cardiac pacing was recommended in a 66‐year‐old woman with mechanical prosthetic mitral and tricuspid valves. To avoid a thoracotomy, a conventional endocardial lead was inserted with a steerable stylet (Locator) into the posterior cardiac vein via the right cephalic vein. Four weeks later, lead dislodgement required reoperation. The lead position remained stable up to 29 months.
