Abstract
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, and atrioventricular (AV) node ablation with pacemaker implantation is a therapeutic option for refractory cases. However, AV node ablation in patients with bioprosthetic tricuspid valves poses technical challenges. Methods: An 84-year-old male with an EVOQUE transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement underwent AV node ablation (AVNA) under intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance. Results: Successful AV block was achieved with precise catheter positioning, improving the patient's symptoms and ventricular rate control. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the feasibility of AVNA in patients with tricuspid bioprostheses, demonstrating feasibility with ICE guidance.
