Abstract

Tricuspid stenosis in the setting of endocardial pacing leads is a rare entity, attributed to infection or lead malposition. We report the case of a 37-year-old man without these risk factors, who presented with new onset severe tricuspid stenosis in the setting of multiple chronic pacing leads.
