with the intent to perform transcatheter tricus- pid valve-in-ring implantation [8], rapid pacing was implemented in 56% of cases via an exist- ing pacing system (n = 9) or a transvenous atrial pacing wire (n = 2). In four patients with a trans- venous right ventricular pacing lead traversing the tricuspid valve annulus, the lead was entrapped
by the tricuspid valve-in-ring implantation. In one patient, the right ventricular lead was dislodged, although that patient did not require ventricular pacing.
Rapid pacing using the guidewire allows a reliable right ventricular pacing method without the risk of electrode entrapment. Due to the need for isolation of
