Abstract
In a 49-year-old woman with sick sinus syndrome and a permanent VVI pacemaker, severe tricuspid stenosis and its clinical consequences developed 4 years after the attack of endocarditis. Besides the quite unusual occurrence of lead related tricuspid stenosis, successful treatment with balloon dilatation is the unique feature of this case.Keywords
