Treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation induced by permanent pacemaker lead: Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with the guidance of 3-dimensional printing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation is one of the complications after permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) and refers to tricuspid regurgitation (TR) caused by the lead in the right ventricle (RV).

Objectives

To study the clinical characteristics of severe TR after PPI and the effect of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) with the guidance of 3-dimensional (3D) printing.

Methods

This study was a single-center, descriptive study. Six patients with severe TR after PPI were enrolled in Xijing Hospital from January 2020 to May 2020. Before TTVR, the 3D printed tricuspid valve (TV) model was used for evaluation in the bench test. LuX-Valve was implanted under the guidance of TEE and x-ray fluoroscopy, and all patients underwent transatrial access
