The present report is the first to describe a case of hemoptysis caused by an endocardial pacemaker lead. In addition, the patient presented with endocarditis and tricuspid valve stenosis. Aggressive treatment consisted of surgical extraction of two pacemaker leads and one pacemaker battery, replacement of the tricuspid valve and implantation of a DDD-R epicardial pacemaker.

Tricuspid stenosis occurs after the implantation of a ventricular pacemaker lead and is a rare complication. An inflammatory response is stimulated when the pacemaker leads are passing through the tricuspid valve which leads to fibrosis in the long-term. In our case report, we aim to present a patient with asymptomatic multiple pacemaker lead related tricuspid stenosis and with a history of severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

The aim of the present study was to describe a successful method for treating rheumatic tricuspid valve stenosis with autologous pericardium, commissurotomy, and a Kalangos ring without replacing the tricuspid valve.
