Acquired tricuspid valve stenosis (TVS) is a rare complication of endocardial pacing lead implantation in humans that has only been described once previously in the veterinary literature in a dog with excessive lead redundancy. A 12 yr old terrier presented with right-sided congestive heart failure 6 mo after implantation of a second ventricular endocardial pacing lead. The second lead was placed due to malfunction of the first lead, which demonstrated abnormally low impedance. Transthoracic echocardiography identified hyperechoic tissue associated with the pacing leads as they crossed the tricuspid valve annulus as well as a stenotic tricuspid inflow pattern via spectral Doppler interrogation. Medical management was ultimately unsuccessful and the dog was euthanized 6 wk after TVS was diagnosed. The authors report the first canine case of acquired TVS associated with two ventricular endocardial pacing leads.

Background: Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) is a noninvasive technique for ventricular tachycardia ablation planning. However, it is limited to reconstructing epicardial surface activation. In silico pace mapping combines a personalized computational model with clinical electrocardiograms (ECGs) to generate a virtual 3-dimensional pace map.

Reel's syndrome (RS) is an unusual cause of pacemaker lead dislodgement. We present the case of a 59-year-old female patient with Down syndrome (DS) implanted with a dual-chamber endovascular pacemaker due to symptomatic sinus node disfunction, reporting several syncopal episodes in last days and showing abnormal electrical parameters at the 2-months follow-up due to RS. The malfunctioning device was removed and an endocardial leadless pacing system was implanted.

Background: Conventional endocardial mapping cannot fully elucidate Marshall bundle (MB)-related atrial tachycardia (AT).
Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of MB-related AT definitively diagnosed using catheter insertion.
Methods: Forty-eight patients with AT who had previously undergone mitral isthmus ablation were enrolled in this study.

Article Synopsis
- Tricuspid valve pathology is common and presents challenges for mechanical tricuspid valve replacement, particularly when implanting a permanent pacemaker due to risks like valve damage and lead fractures.
- Epicardial leads, while an option, are not ideal for patients with past thoracotomies due to surgical requirements.
- This case report showcases successful left ventricular (LV) pacing through the coronary sinus in a 30-year-old woman, proving it to be a safe and effective alternative method for pacemaker implantation without additional invasive procedures.

Background: Electrophysiological characterization of ventricular tachycardia (VT) isthmus sites is complex and time-consuming. We aimed at developing and validating a global mapping strategy during programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) to reveal the underlying electrophysiological properties of the infarct-related substrate and to enable identification of highly heterogeneous activation sites associated with protected VT isthmus sites.
Methods And Results: Experimental study that included 22 pigs with established myocardial infarction undergoing in vivo characterization of the anatomical and functional myocardial substrate associated with potential arrhythmogenicity.
