Rapid Pacing Using the Guidewire During Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve in Valve Implantation

Abstract
Transcatheter valve replacement is now widely used to treat high-risk patients. This approach is also expanding to the tricuspid valve, mostly for “valve-invalve” and “valve-in-ring” implantations. Rapid pacing during transcatheter valve implantation is used to reduce cardiac output and minimize the risk of valve dislodgement. Rapid pacing is usually done using the patient’s permanent pacemaker or a temporary pacing electrode that is usually introduced retrogradely into the left ventricle or coronary sinus. Here, we describe the use of the tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation super-stiff guidewire for rapid pacing during implantation of the valve. This approach may obviate the need for ancillary steps that may increase procedure time, X-ray exposure, and risk of complications.
