Abstract
Permanent cardiac pacing was recommended in a 66-year-old woman with mechan ical prosthetic mitral and tricuspid valves. To avoid a thoracotomy, a conv entional endocardial lead was inserted with a steerable stylet (Locator) in to the posterior cardiac vein via the right cephalic vein. Four weeks later , lead dislodgement required reoperation. The lead position remained stable up to 29 months.
