The patient was an 81-year-old woman with a history of mitral valve repair, atrial fibrillation, and sick sinus syndrome status post–His bundle pacemaker (HBP) implant using a Select Secure lead (model 3830, 69 cm; Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota) who presented with progressive dyspnea and leg swelling. Patient was diagnosed with severe tricuspid regurgitation with right ventricular dysfunction in the absence of mitral valve dysfunction or significant pulmonary hypertension. She underwent tricuspid valve replacement using a minimally invasive right thoracoscopic approach. Figure 1 shows a pre-procedure chest x-ray with appropriately positioned HBP lead (marked by an asterisk). A 12-lead electrocardiogram shows atrioventricular sequential pacing with selective HBP morphology as evidenced by isoelectric interval following ventricular pacing spike, which is reflective of the His bundle–ventricular interval. At the time of surgery, the HBP lead was visualized from the right atriotomy site. Marked tricuspid annular dilatation was seen and septal, anterior, and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve are shown. The tip of the HBP lead is seen embedded in the right atrium just above the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. Online Video 1 shows the HBP lead as viewed from the atriotomy site. In patients with selective HBP, imaging and autopsy studies have previously demonstrated an atrial insertion of the lead tip without crossing the tricuspid valve plane (1–3). Even in patients with nonselective HBP, fluoroscopic assessments have shown the lead tip to cross the tricuspid annular plane only infrequently (4). This case is the first description of the location of the HBP lead as viewed inside a beating noncardioplegic heart. In this patient, the HBP lead could not be salvaged during the surgery and epicardial pacing wires were implanted.
