Popis: Tricuspid valve dysfunction and in particular tricuspid stenosis has recently been described secondary to cardiac implantable electronic devices. The valve is subjected to different mechanisms of injury related to the endocardial lead passing through its plane. The lead can form a loop or perforate one of the leaflets and initiate inflammatory response and fibrotic changes. Multimodality cardiac imaging is required to diagnose this clinical entity and decide on the best treatment plan. Here we present a case of a young female who developed tricuspid stenosis secondary to permanent pacemaker lead that was implanted 24 years before. We performed a review for all cases reported in the literature with a similar condition and various treatment approaches. .
