Laceration of the Tricuspid Valve by a Pacemaker Wire

Jaco Fishenfeld M.D.1 and Yvonne Lamy M.D.2

1 Coney Island Hospital
2 Staff Pathologist, Coney Island Hospital and Clinical Instructor of Pathology, State University of New York Downstate Medical Center

A case of tricuspid valve laceration by a No.5 USCI temporary bipolar pacemaker wire which was inserted because of idioventricular rhythm following cardiac arrest in a 69-year-old man with longstanding hypertensive cardiovascular disease is described. Though various mechanical complications induced by pacemaker electrodes have been described no similar case, to our knowledge, has been reported in the literature.
