ABSTRACT
Leadless pacemakers offer the opportunity to avoid transvenous hardware among patients with tricuspid valve prostheses. We present the first case of a helix-based fixation leadless pacemaker implanted through valve-in-valve tricuspid prostheses in a 43-year-old female with extensive prior cardiac history. At the time of presentation, epicardial pacing was no longer a viable option in the setting of pacemaker dependence. Placement of a helix-fixed, leadless right ventricular pacemaker was performed as a bridge to dual-chamber leadless pacing. This was safely and effectively performed and highlighted favorable procedural characteristics that included RV cavity dimensions and prosthesis type.
