Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has become an essential component of lead management strategies, but it carries the risk of severe complications, including damage to the tricuspid valve. Currently, there are no established predictors that can help prevent these complications.

Case Summary: An 84-year-old male with a dual-chamber pacemaker was admitted to the hospital due to a pocket fistula resulting from a local infection.

BACKGROUND Pacemaker implantation serves as a prevalent therapeutic approach for bradycardia or atrioventricular blocks associated with syncope. While generally regarded as safe, this procedure is not devoid of rare yet severe complications. Examples include lead-induced cardiac perforation resulting in pneumothorax or pericardial effusion, which pose life-threatening risks.

Background: In recent years, lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation (LITR) has attracted increasing attention. At present, there are two commonly used transvalvular methods for pacing lead wires to enter the right ventricle. The first transvalvular approach involves placing the tip of the pacing lead directly through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, including "direct-crossing" and "drop-down.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) frequently experience cardiac arrhythmias and often require cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), which can lead to complications like tricuspid regurgitation (TR) needing surgery.
  • In a study of 21 patients who had tricuspid valve (TV) surgery for device lead-induced TR after undergoing septal myectomy (SM) for HCM, the majority had severe TR and associated symptoms of right heart failure.
  • Results showed that while the immediate surgical outcomes were acceptable, long-term survival for these patients was significantly lower (58% at 5 years) compared to other patients who had undergone SM (96%).
