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. Triküspit stenozu ventriküler pacemaker lead implantasyonu sonrası gelişen ve nadir görülen bir komplikasyondur. Pacemaker lead triküspit kapağı geçtiğinde inflamatuvar yanıt gelişir ve bu durum uzun dönemde fibroz ile sonuçlanır. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı, ağır geçirilmiş COVID-19 pnömonisi ve pacemaker lead ilişkili asemptomatik ciddi triküspit stenozu olan bir olguyu sunmaktır.
