Abstract
AIMS Significant changes in tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mitral regurgitation (MR) post-cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasingly recognized. However, uncertainty remains as to whether the risk of CIED-associated TR and MR differs with right ventricular pacing (RVP) via CIED with trans-tricuspid RV leads, compared with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), conduction system pacing (CSP), and leadless pacing (LP). The study aims to synthesize extant data on risk and prognosis of significant post-CIED TR and MR across pacing strategies. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases published until 31 October 2023. Significant post-CIED TR and MR were defined as ≥ moderate. Fifty-seven TR studies (n = 13 723 patients) and 90 MR studies (n = 14 387 patients) were included. For all CIED, the risk of post-CIED TR increased [pooled odds ratio (OR) = 2.46 and 95% CI = 1.88-3.22], while the risk of post-CIED MR reduced (OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.58-0.94) after 12 and 6 months of median follow-up, respectively. Right ventricular pacing via CIED with trans-tricuspid RV leads was associated with increased risk of post-CIED TR (OR = 4.54, 95% CI = 3.14-6.57) and post-CIED MR (OR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.18-4.26). Binarily, CSP did not alter TR risk (OR = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.13-1.02), but significantly reduced MR (OR = 0.15, 95% CI = 0.03-0.62). Cardiac resynchronization therapy did not significantly change TR risk (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.55-2.17), but significantly reduced MR with prevalence pre-CRT of 43%, decreasing post-CRT to 22% (OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.40-0.61). There was no significant association of LP with post-CIED TR (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.83-1.59) or MR (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 0.72-2.39). Cardiac implantable electronic device-associated TR was independently predictive of all-cause mortality [pooled hazard ratio (HR) = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.40-1.90] after median of 53 months. Mitral regurgitation persisting post-CRT independently predicted all-cause mortality (HR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.57-2.55) after 38 months. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that, when possible, adoption of pacing strategies that avoid isolated trans-tricuspid RV leads may be beneficial in preventing incident or deteriorating atrioventricular valvular regurgitation and might reduce mortality.

Case Report: unexpected cause of cyanosis in an infant after acute exposure to high altitude-severe tricuspid regurgitation secondary to tricuspid valve prolapse. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1335218. [PMID: 38932987 PMCID: PMC11199785 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1335218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) causing cyanosis with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and right-to-left atrial shunting requires a precise diagnosis for optimal therapy. Tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP) can lead to TR and is sometimes overlooked, especially in complex cases with factors like pulmonary hypertension (PH). We present an infant with cyanosis and profound TR after high-altitude exposure, initially misattributed to PH but found to be primarily due to spontaneous chordae tendineae rupture and TVP. This case underscores the challenges in diagnosing TR-induced cyanosis. Case presentation The 3-month-old infant rapidly developed cyanosis, hypoxemia, right atrial enlargement, severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and patent foramen ovale (PFO) shunting after high-altitude exposure. Although echocardiography revealed tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP), initial consideration linked TR and right-to-left shunting to pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to the temporal correlation with rapid altitude exposure. Despite hemodynamic stability and the absence of respiratory distress after respiratory support and combined PH medication therapy, the persistent hypoxemia did not reverse as expected. This treatment outcome and repeated echocardiograms reminded us that TR was primarily caused by TVP rather than PH alone. Intraoperative exploration confirmed that TVP was caused by a rupture of TV chordae tendineae and anterior papillary muscle head, and the chordae tendineae/papillary muscle connection was reconstructed. After surgery, this patient was noncyanotic with an excellent long-term prognosis, a trivial TR with normal TV function being observed echocardiographically. Conclusions TR-induced cyanosis can be not only a consequence of PH and right-sided heart dilation but also a primary condition. Repetitive reassessment should be undertaken with caution, particularly when patients are not improving on therapy in the setting of conditions known to predisposition to secondary TR. Since TVP caused by rupture of the chordae or papillary muscles is rare but fatal in children, early diagnosis is clinically substantial to proper management and satisfactory long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no randomized data to inform the extent to which transvenous cardiac leads cause tricuspid regurgitation (TR). OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the effect of a transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD) on TR severity, and secondarily, on right ventricular (RV) size and function. METHODS We evaluated TR severity before and 6 months after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator insertion in a post hoc analysis of adults randomized to receive a transvenous (n = 252) or subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) (n = 251) device. TR and RV size and systolic function were assessed by echocardiographic images analyzed in a core laboratory. RESULTS At baseline, at least mild TR was present in 30% of individuals. At 6 months, the proportion of participants with any TR in the TV-ICD group was 42% vs 19% in the S-ICD group (P < 0.001). The proportion with moderate or severe TR was 7% in the TV-ICD group vs 2% in the S-ICD group (P = 0.021). At 6 months, the OR of at least 1 grade worsening of TR in the TV-ICD group as compared with the S-ICD group was 7.2 (95% CI: 3.3-15.8; P < 0.001). There were no differences between groups with respect to RV size or systolic function. CONCLUSIONS Six months following TV-ICD insertion, there was a 7-fold increase in the risk of at least 1 grade worsening of TR, with 7% of individuals having TR that was moderate or severe. There was no detectable difference in RV size or function; however, longer follow-up is needed.

Abstract
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) secondary to cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has been well documented and is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. A variety of mechanisms have been proposed including lead-induced mechanical disruption of the tricuspid valvular or subvalvular apparatus and pacing-induced electrical dyssynchrony. Patient characteristics such as age, sex, baseline atrial fibrillation, and pre-existing TR have not been consistent predictors of CIED-induced TR. While two-dimensional echocardiography is helpful in assessing the severity of TR, three-dimensional echocardiography has significantly improved accuracy in identifying the etiology of TR and whether lead position contributes to TR. Three-dimensional echocardiography may therefore play a future role in optimizing lead positioning during implant to reduce the risk of CIED-induced TR. Optimal lead management strategies in addition to percutaneous interventions and surgery in alleviating TR are very important.

Abstract
Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a progressive condition associated with substantial morbidity, poor quality of life, and increased mortality. Patients with TR commonly have coexisting conditions including congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, atrial fibrillation, and cardiovascular implantable electronic devices, which can increase the complexity of medical and surgical TR management. As such, the optimal timing of referral for isolated tricuspid valve (TV) intervention is undefined, and TV surgery has been associated with elevated risk of morbidity and mortality. More recently, an unprecedented growth in TR treatment options, namely the development of a wide range of transcatheter TV interventions (TTVI) is stimulating increased interest and referral for TV intervention across the entire medical community. However, there are no stepwise algorithms for the optimal management of symptomatic severe TR before TTVI. This article reviews the contemporary assessment and management of TR with addition of a medical framework to optimize TR before referral for TTVI.

Abstract
Since their initial approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2016, leadless pacemakers have become increasingly prevalent. This growth has been driven by an improved adverse effect profile when compared to traditional pacemakers, including lower rates of infection, as well as eliminated risk of pocket hematoma and lead complications. More recently, technology enabling leadless synchronized atrioventricular pacing in patients with atrioventricular block has vastly expanded the indications for these devices. Anesthesiologists will increasingly be relied upon to safely care for patients with leadless pacemakers undergoing non-electrophysiology procedures and surgery. This article provides an overview of the technology, evidence base, current indications, and unique perioperative considerations for leadless pacemakers.

New severity criteria for tricuspid regurgitation in a broad population of "real life" patients: Prevalence and prognostic impact. Curr Probl Cardiol 2024; 49:102211.

Abstract
Introduction Our objective was to determine, in "real life" patients, the prevalence of massive and torrential regurgitation among patients diagnosed with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), as well as its impact on long-term prognosis. Methods In a single-center retrospective study, all patients with an echocardiographic diagnosis of severe TR attended at a tertiary care hospital of an European country from January 2008 to December 2017 were recruited. Images were analysed off-line to measure the maximum vena contracta (VC) and TR was classified into three groups: severe (VC ≥ 7 mm), massive (VC 14-20 mm), and torrential (VC ≥ 21 mm). The impact of this classification on the combined event of heart failure (HF) admission and all-cause death in follow-up was investigated. Results A total of 614 patients (70 ± 13 years, 72 % women) were included. 81.4 % had severe TR, 15.8 % massive TR, and 2.8 % torrential TR. The 5-year HF-free survival was 42 %, 43 %, and 12 % (p = 0.001), for the different subgroups of severe TR, respectively. After adjusting for baseline characteristics, TR severity was an independent predictor of survival free of the combined end-point: HR 0.91 [95 % CI 0.70-1.18] p = 0.46, for massive TR; and HR 2.5 [95 % CI 1.49-4.21] p = 0.001, for torrential TR considering severe TR as reference. Conclusions The prevalence of massive and torrential TR is not negligible among patients with severe TR in real life. The prognosis is significantly worse for patients with torrential TR measured by the maximum VC.

Abstract
The role of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)-related tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is increasingly recognized as an independent clinical entity. Hence, interventional TR treatment options continuously evolve, surgical risk assessment and peri-operative care improve the management of CIED-related TR, and the role of lead extraction is of high interest. Furthermore, novel surgical and interventional tricuspid valve treatment options are increasingly applied to patients suffering from TR associated with or related to CIEDs. This multidisciplinary review article developed with electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists, imaging specialists, and cardiac surgeons aims to give an overview of the mechanisms of disease, diagnostics, and proposes treatment algorithms of patients suffering from TR associated with CIED lead(s) or leadless pacemakers.

Abstract
During the last few years, there has been a substantial shift in efforts to understand and manage secondary or functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) given its prevalence, adverse prognostic impact, and symptom burden associated with progressive right heart failure. Understanding the pathophysiology of TR and right heart failure is crucial for determining the best treatment strategy and improving outcomes. In this article, we review the complex relationship between right heart structural and hemodynamic changes that drive the pathophysiology of secondary TR and discuss the role of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis, management, and determination of outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) improve quality of life and prolong survival, but there are additional considerations for cardiovascular imaging after implantation-both for standard indications and for diagnosing and guiding management of device-related complications. This clinical consensus statement (part 2) from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, in collaboration with the European Heart Rhythm Association, provides comprehensive, up-to-date, and evidence-based guidance to cardiologists, cardiac imagers, and pacing specialists regarding the use of imaging in patients after implantation of conventional pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. The document summarizes the existing evidence regarding the role and optimal use of various cardiac imaging modalities in patients with suspected CIED-related complications and also discusses CRT optimization, the safety of magnetic resonance imaging in CIED carriers, and describes the role of chest radiography in assessing CIED type, position, and complications. The role of imaging before and during CIED implantation is discussed in a companion document (part 1).

Abstract
New-onset or worsening tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a well-established complication encountered after cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). However, there are limited and conflicting data on the true incidence and prognostic implications of this complication. This study aimed to bridge this current gap in the literature. Electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception to March 2023, for studies reporting the incidence and/or prognosis of CIED-associated new or worsening TR. Potentially eligible studies were screened and selected according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A random effect model meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis were performed, and I-squared statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. A total of 52 eligible studies, with 130,759 patients were included in the final quantitative analysis with a mean follow-up period of 25.5 months. The mean age across included studies was 69.35 years, and women constituted 46.6% of the study population. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 50.15%. The incidence of CIED-associated TR was 24% (95% confidence interval [CI] 20% to 28%, p <0.001) with an odds ratio of 2.44 (95% CI 1.58 to 3.77, p <0.001). CIED-associated TR was independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.52, 95% CI 1.36 to 1.69, p <0.001), heart failure (HF) hospitalizations (aHR 1.82, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.78, p = 0.006), and the composite of mortality and HF hospitalizations (aHR 1.96, 95% CI 1.33 to 2.87, p = 0.001) in the follow-up period. In conclusion, CIED-associated TR occurred in nearly one-fourth of patients after device implantation and was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and HF hospitalizations.

Abstract
Clinically significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has historically been managed with either medical therapy or surgical interventions. More recently, percutaneous trans-catheter tricuspid valve (TV) replacement and tricuspid trans-catheter edge-to-edge repair have emerged as alternative treatment modalities. Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have an increased incidence of TR. Severe TR in this population can occur for multiple reasons but most often results from the interactions between the CIED lead and the TV apparatus. Management decisions in patients with CIED leads and clinically significant TR, who are undergoing evaluation for a percutaneous TV intervention, need careful consideration as a trans-venous lead extraction (TLE) may both worsen and improve TR severity. Furthermore, given the potential risks of 'jailing' a CIED lead at the time of a percutaneous TV intervention (lead fracture and risk of subsequent infections), consideration should be given to performing a TLE prior to a percutaneous TV intervention. The purpose of this 'state-of-the-art' review is to provide an overview of the causes of TR in patients with CIEDs, discuss the available therapeutic options for patients with TR and CIED leads, and advocate for including a lead management specialist as a member of the 'heart team' when making treatment decisions in patients TR and CIED leads.

Heart Rhythm 2023; 20:1491-1501.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Worsening tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after either permanent pacemaker (PPM) or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation is an emerging clinical challenge. Early recognition of this entity is essential in guiding treatment. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis was designed to identify the overall incidence and patient-specific predictors of TR post-device implantation. METHODS We searched electronic databases from inception to January 2023 for published studies that reported the incidence of TR worsening post-device implantation. The log odds ratio (OR) was used to summarize group differences. RESULTS Our analysis included 29 studies with 66,590 participants. Patients who underwent device implantation (n = 1008) were significantly more likely to develop worsening TR than controls who did not undergo device implantation (n = 58,605) (OR 3.18; P < .01). In a total of 7777 patients, the pooled incidence of at least 1-grade worsening of TR post-device implantation was 24%. Worsening TR post-device implantation significantly increases mortality (hazard ratio 1.42; P = .02). Larger right atrial area (OR 1.11; P < .01) is significantly associated with an increased risk of worsening TR post-device implantation, while male patients are less likely to develop this complication than female patients (OR 0.74; P < .01). Importantly, there is no statistically significant difference between the type of implanted device (ICD vs PPM) and post-device implantation TR. Further, right ventricular dysfunction, pulmonary artery pressure, baseline mitral regurgitation, left ventricular ejection fraction, baseline atrial fibrillation, and age have no association with worsening TR post-device implantation. CONCLUSION A substantial number of patients undergoing PPM or ICD implantation are at an increased risk of worsening TR. Importantly, in this largest review to date incorporating more than 66,000 subjects, worsening TR significantly increases mortality by greater than 140%, accordingly deserving more recognition and clinical attention in the current era.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation due to its increasing prevalence and detrimental impact on clinical outcomes. Historically, it has been coined the "forgotten" defect in the field of valvular heart disease due to the lack of effective treatments to improve prognosis. However, the development of percutaneous treatment techniques has led to a new era in its management, with promising results and diminished complication risk. In spite of these advances, a comprehensive exploration of the pathophysiological mechanisms is essential to establish clear indications and optimal timing for medical and percutaneous intervention. This review will address the most important aspects related to the diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of tricuspid regurgitation from a cardiorenal perspective, with a special emphasis on the interaction between right ventricular dysfunction and the development of hepatorenal congestion.

Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) after Implantation of a Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED)-One-Year Observation of Patients with or without Left Ventricular Dysfunction. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2023; 10:353. [PMID: 37623367 PMCID: PMC10455858 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10080353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The frequency of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) progression after cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) implantation varies from 7.2% to 44.7%. TR is associated with increased mortality and hospitalizations due to heart failure (HF) decompensation. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of early TR progression after CIED implantation and the frequency of HF decompensation and mortality. The 101 patients, who received a CIED between March 2020 and October 2021, before the procedure were divided into two groups-one with left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40% (n = 60) and one with LVEF < 40% (n = 41). Lead-related tricuspid regurgitation (LRTR) was defined as an increase of TR by at least one grade. The follow-up period was similar between both groups and was on average 13 (12-16) months. In the whole study group, TR progression by one grade was 34.6% and by two or more grades 15.8%. The significant changes in the dynamic of TR degree were as follows before and after implantation: none/trivial TR in group 1 (61.7% vs. 28.3%, p = 0.01) and severe/massive TR in group 2 (0.0% vs. 14.6%, p = 0.03). The groups did not differ from each other in terms of survival from decompensation of HF (18.3% vs. 36.6%, p = 0.70) and survival from death (1.7% vs. 4.9%, p = 0.16). At the one-year follow-up, the baseline LVEF did not affect the survival rate from death or HF decompensation among patients with a progression of TR after CIED implantation. In this study, a progression by one grade was more common in group 1, but the occurrence of severe/massive TR after implantation was more specific for group 2.

Abstract
Given the independent association of mortality with higher grades of tricuspid regurgitation severity, there is an increasing interest in improving the outcomes of this prevalent valvular heart disease. A new classification of tricuspid regurgitation etiology allows for an improved understanding of different pathophysiologic forms of the disease, which may determine the appropriate management strategy. Current surgical outcomes remain suboptimal and multiple transcatheter device therapies are currently under investigation to give high and prohibitive surgical risk patients treatment options beyond medical therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is one of the most prevalent types of valvular heart disease linked to poor prognosis in patients with heart failure and is usually ignored. TR has received considerable attention due to the progressive advancements in transcatheter therapies in recent years. AREAS COVERED With relatively solid data and rapid technological advancements, tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is the most frequently employed in a series of tricuspid transcatheter interventional treatments for TR. However, the efficacy and technical benefits of T-TEER are limited because of the unique anatomical characteristics and pathological mechanisms of the tricuspid valve. The aim of this review is to summarize reported data on current status of T-TEER and to provide an expert opinion regarding the challenges it is now experiencing and future development direction and approach. EXPERT OPINION T-TEER is a significant treatment for TR, but its effectiveness and technical promotion are limited due to the tricuspid valve unique anatomical characteristics and pathological mechanisms. The selection criteria for suitable patients, the choice of when to intervene, device innovation, the advancement of ultrasound technology, and the volume of evidence in evidence-based medicine all indicate that the disorder of TR will eventually be better treated and understood.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic and pathophysiologic state present in many cardiovascular, respiratory, and systemic diseases. PH is considered to have a higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. The most common type of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is associated with PH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between FTR severity and mortality in PH in western China. This is a retrospective analysis in PH patients and all patients underwent right-heart catheterization (RHC) for hemodynamic measurements. The FTR severity was determined according to the guidelines. Uni- and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors for mortality. From 2015 to 2021, 136 patients with PH with a median age of 50 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 35-64 years). During 26-month median follow-up (mean 27.7 ± 15.1 months), 40 (29.2%) patients died (mean after 21.7 ± 14.1 months). In the univariate Cox regression analysis, World Health Organization functional class (WHO FC) III/IV, elevated B-type natriuretic peptide, pulmonary vascular resistance (≥16.2 Wood units), pulmonary artery oxygen saturation, severe FTR and right ventricular diameter/left ventricular diameter (≥0.62) were significantly associated with mortality. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, severe FTR, WHO FC III/IV, and right ventricular end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP) were risk factors for mortality. Severe FTR at baseline was strongly associated with mortality in both precapillary and postcapillary PH patients, independent of the other risk factors as RVEDP, HO FC III/IV, optimal pulmonary arterial hypertension targeted therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is an alternative strategy for His-bundle pacing (HBP); however, little is known about tricuspid regurgitation (TR) deterioration after LBBP implantation. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to characterize the incidence of post-LBBP TR deterioration and identify predicting factors, especially lead position parameters. METHODS Patients who received LBBP were continuously enrolled from January 2018 to August 2020. The progression of TR and the anatomic position of LBBP were characterized by echocardiography. RESULTS A total of 89 patients were enrolled and assigned to 2 subgroups based on the degree of TR before LBBP implantation: 58 (65.2%) with relatively normal tricuspid valve (TV) function (grade 0/1 subgroup: with none/trivial or mild TR) and 31 (34.8%) with more severe TR (grade 2/3 subgroup: with moderate or severe TR). At 19.0 ± 6.5 months of follow-up, 29 patients (32.6%) had TR deterioration, and 23 of them were in the grade 0/1 subgroup. In the grade 0/1 subgroup, patients with TR deterioration had a shorter distance between the lead-implanted site and TV (Lead-TA-dist) than those without TR (19.0 ± 7.6 vs 23.9 ± 5.4; P = .006). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (area under the curve 0.721; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.575-0.867; P = .005) indicated the favorable efficacy of Lead-TA-dist for predicting TR deterioration after LBBP. Lead-TA-dist ≤16.1 mm was independently associated with TR deterioration after LBBP (hazard ratio 0.20; 95% CI 0.06-0.76; P = .017). CONCLUSION TR was a common complication of LBBP implantation. In patients with none/trivial or mild TR, Lead-TA-dist ≤16.1 mm was an independent predictor of TR deterioration after LBBP implantation.

Abstract
AIMS We sought to analyse the distribution of TR severity and survival in a large cohort of adults with CIED leads. METHODS The distribution of TR severity was analysed in 18,797 adults (mean age 73.8+/-13.9, 63.3% men) with CIED leads undergoing echocardiography across 25 centres. Survival status and cause of death were linked and the relationship between TR severity and mortality during 2.6 (interquartile range 1.1-4.6) years follow-up examined. Data from 439,558 individuals (mean age 62.1 ±17.8 years, 51.5% men) without a CIED were subsequently incorporated in a pooled cohort analysis. RESULTS Overall, 8,824/18,797 individuals (47%) with a CIED had no/trivial TR; 5,490 (29.2%) mild TR; 3,068 (16.3%) moderate TR; and 1,415 (7.5%) severe TR. Moderate or greater TR was independently associated with age, female sex, atrial fibrillation and significant left heart disease (p<0.001 for all). 8,868 individuals (47.2%) died from any cause (43.2% from cardiovascular causes). Individuals with moderate or severe TR had a 1.6 to 2.5-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality in adjusted models, compared to those with no TR (p<0.001 for both). In the pooled cohort analysis, CIEDs were associated with a near 2-fold (95% CI 1.81-1.99; p<0.001) increased probability of moderate or greater TR, on adjusted basis. However, the mortality associated with moderate or greater TR did not differ significantly with respect to the presence or absence of a device lead. CONCLUSIONS Moderate or greater TR is more prevalent in those with CIED's, even in adjusted models, and was independently associated with incremental risks for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices, including permanent pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy, has dramatically increased in recent years. The interaction between the device lead and tricuspid valve leaflets is a potential cause of tricuspid regurgitation which in turn has an impact on morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography is necessary for grading of tricuspid regurgitation severity. The use of three-dimensional imaging helps determine whether the device lead is interfering with normal leaflet coaptation. Early identification of lead-related tricuspid regurgitation is critical to select the optimal treatment, which may include lead extraction or even tricuspid valve repair/replacement in severe cases. This review aims to provide a thorough assessment of the evidence about lead-associated tricuspid regurgitation, the benefits of using 3D echocardiography with some technical considerations, and finally, propose a treatment algorithm.

Abstract
Background Patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)-induced tricuspid regurgitation (TR) have an increased mortality and morbidity. However, the impact of CIED-lead extraction and its indications are not well-defined. Case summary A 69-year-old woman presented with recurrent hospital admissions for right heart failure refractory to medical therapy, on the background of a single-chamber permanent pacemaker (Biotronik) implanted 6 years ago for tachycardia–bradycardia syndrome. Transoesophageal echocardiography identified severe TR which was predominantly CIED-induced from a lead impingement of the posterior tricuspid valve (TV) leaflet preventing adequate leaflet coaptation. This had progressed to cause a degree of secondary functional TR. The patient underwent pacing lead extraction followed by epicardial lead placement via minithoracotomy, with significant symptomatic and echographic improvement of TR. Discussion CIED-induced TR from a lead impingement of TV leaflets carries the highest risk of TR and its consequences. This case illustrates the significance of the relationship between CIED-leads and the TV, which impacts management strategy. We recommend a mechanistic approach and incorporating CIED-lead interaction with the TV apparatus as the underlying principle in developing future management guidelines for CIED-induced TR.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we have focused on the currently available transcatheter tricuspid valve therapies, device selection, as well as role and management of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the setting of other transcatheter valvular procedures. RECENT FINDINGS In this review, we have enlisted the recently finished as well as ongoing trials in the percutaneous tricuspid valve therapies. TR is highly prevalent yet remains underrecognized and is often untreated. TR has traditionally been managed conservatively with medical therapies including diuretics for volume management, whereas surgical therapies are reserved for those undergoing left-sided valvular surgery. Although the transcatheter devices for tricuspid repair and replacement are in clinical trials, the experience to date for their effectiveness and safety has been reassuring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal management of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in patients with Ebstein anomaly during tricuspid valve (TV) surgery is unknown. Thus, we aimed to characterize CIED management/outcomes in patients with Ebstein anomaly undergoing TV surgery. METHODS Patients at the Mayo Clinic from 1987 to 2020 with Ebstein anomaly and CIED procedure were reviewed for procedural details, complications, echocardiogram, and lead parameters. Five-year cumulative incidence of CIED complications were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Ninety-three patients were included; 51 were female, and mean age was 40.7±17.5 years. A new CIED was implanted in 45 patients at the time of TV surgery with the majority receiving an epicardial (n=37) CIED. Among 34 patients who had preexisting CIED (11 epicardial, 23 transvenous) at time of TV surgery, 20 had a transvenous right ventricular lead managed by externalizing the lead to the TV (n=15) or extracting the transvenous lead with epicardial lead implantation (n=5). Fourteen patients underwent CIED implantation (4 epicardial, 10 transvenous) without concurrent surgery. Placement of lead across the TV was avoided in 85% of patients. The 5-year cumulative incidence of CIED complications was 24% with no significant difference between epicardial and transvenous CIEDs (26% versus 23%, P=0.96). Performance of lead parameters was similar in epicardial and transvenous leads during median (interquartile range) follow-up of 44.5 (61.1) months. CONCLUSIONS In patients with Ebstein anomaly undergoing TV surgery, the use of epicardial leads and externalization of transvenous leads to the TV can avoid lead placement across the valve leaflets. Lead performance and CIED complications was similar between epicardial and transvenous CIEDs.

Abstract
Introduction Conventional transvenous pacemaker leads may interfere with the tricuspid valve leaflets, tendinous chords, and papillary muscles, resulting in significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). Leadless pacemakers (LLPMs) theoretically cause less mechanical interference with the tricuspid valve apparatus. However, data on TR after LLPM implantation are sparse and conflicting. Our goal was to investigate the prevalence of significant TR before and after LLPM implantation. Methods Patients who received a leadless LLPM (Micra™ TPS, Medtronic) between May 2016 and May 2021 at our center were included in this observational study if they had at least a pre‐ and postinterventional echocardiogram (TTE). The evolution of TR severity was assessed. Following a systematic literature review on TR evolution after implantation of a LLPM, data were pooled in a random‐effects meta‐analysis. Results We included 69 patients (median age 78 years [interquartile range (IQR) 72–84 years], 26% women). Follow‐up duration between baseline and follow‐up TTE was 11.4 months (IQR 3.5–20.1 months). At follow‐up, overall TR severity was not different compared to baseline (p = .49). Six patients (9%) had new significant TR during follow‐up after LLPM implantation, whereas TR severity improved in seven patients (10%). In the systematic review, we identified seven additional articles that investigated the prevalence of significant TR after LLPM implantation. The meta‐analysis based on 297 patients failed to show a difference in significant TR before and after LLPM implantation (risk ratio 1.22, 95% confidence interval 0.97–1.53, p = .11). Conclusion To date, there is no substantial evidence for a significant change in TR after implantation of a LLPM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the prognostic value of staging right heart failure in patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) undergoing tricuspid valve (TV) surgery. METHODS Patients with significant TR who underwent TV surgery were divided into 4 right heart failure stages according to the presence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and clinical signs of right heart failure: stage 1 was defined as no RV dysfunction and no signs of right heart failure; stage 2 indicated RV dysfunction without signs of right heart failure; stage 3 included RV dysfunction and signs of right heart failure; and stage 4 was defined as RV dysfunction and refractory signs of right heart failure at rest. RESULTS A total of 278 patients [mean age 64 (12), 49% males] were included, of whom 34 (12%) patients were classified as stages 1 and 2, 141 (51%) as stage 3 and 103 (37%) as stage 4 right heart failure. The majority of patients (91%) had TV surgery concomitant to left-sided valve surgery or coronary artery bypass grafting and 95% underwent TV annuloplasty. Cumulative survival rates were 89%, 78% and 61% at 1 month, 1 year and 5 years, respectively. Stages 1 and 2 and stage 3 were independently associated with better survival compared to stage 4 (hazard ratio: 0.391 [95% confidence interval: 0.186-0.823] and 0.548 [95% confidence interval: 0.369-0.813], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Patients with significant TR undergoing TV surgery and diagnosed without advanced right heart failure have better survival as compared to patients with right heart failure.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
With the expanding use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), lead interference with the tricuspid valve (TV) causing significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has gained increasing recognition. However, current knowledge about the long-term results of the surgical treatment of TR in this setting is scanty. Therefore, increasing this information was the goal of this study.
METHODS
A retrospective review of our institutional database was carried out to select all patients with previously implanted CIEDs who underwent tricuspid valve repair and replacement from 2000 through 2019. Kaplan–Meier methods were used to analyse long-term survival. To describe the time course of TR, we performed a longitudinal analysis using generalized estimating equations.
RESULTS
A total of 151 patients were identified. Mechanical interference with leaflet mobility and coaptation was detected in 103 patients (68%) (CIED-induced group); in the remaining 48 patients (32%), the lead was associated with TR without being the cause of it (CIED-associated group). A total of 105 patients underwent TV repair; in the remaining 46, a TV replacement was necessary. In patients who underwent TV repair, no significant difference in moderate TR recurrence rate was highlighted between CIED-induced and CIED-associated TR.
CONCLUSIONS
In patients with CIEDs and surgically treated tricuspid regurgitation, TR is CIED-induced in about two-thirds of the cases and CIED-associated in one-third of them. In our experience, TV repair was still possible in 63% of the cases, with good long-term results and no significant durability difference between CIED-induced and CIED-associated TR.

Abstract
Background: Lead-related tricuspid valve dysfunction (LDTVD) has not been studied in a large population and its management remains controversial. Methods: An analysis of the clinical data of 2678 patients undergoing transvenous lead extraction (TLE) in years 2008–2021 was conducted, with a separate group of 119 patients with LDTVD. Potential risk factors for LDTVD, improvement in valve function, and long-term prognosis after TLE were assessed. Results: LDTVD was diagnosed in 4.44% of patients referred for lead extraction due to different reasons. The most common mechanism of LDTVD was propping upward or clamping down the leaflet by the lead (85.71%). The probability of LDTVD was higher in female sex, patients with valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, large right ventricle and high pulmonary artery systolic pressure, the presence of only pacing lead, and in case of collision of the lead with tricuspid valve and adhesion of the lead to the heart structures. The prognosis of patients with LDTVD was worse, however, patients with improved valve function after TLE showed a significantly better long-term survival. Conclusions: Lead dependent tricuspid valve dysfunction is a potentially serious condition that requires thorough diagnostics and thoughtful management. The risk factors for LDTVD are primarily related to the course of the lead and its adhesion to the heart structures. Improvement of tricuspid valve function after TLE is observed in 35.29% of patients Patients with LDTVD have a worse long-term survival, but the improvement in valve function following TLE contributes to a significant reduction in mortality.

Abstract
Transcatheter valve interventions have seen a significant increase in the past decade. The combination of improved techniques and available tools provides less invasive options supplementing surgical therapies. The tricuspid valve (TV) apparatus is a complex structure between the right atrium and the right ventricle; it generally consists of 3 leaflets (anterior, posterior, and septal) inserted in the fibrous tricuspid annulus and connected to the papillary muscle via the chordae tendinae. This article reviews TV anatomy, the pathophysiology of tricuspid regurgitation, and multimodality imaging to study TV, as well as provides an overview of transcatheter TV intervention.

Abstract
Approximately 4% of subjects aged 75 years or more have clinically relevant tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Primary TR results from anatomical abnormality of the tricuspid valve apparatus and is observed in only 8-10% of the patients with tricuspid valve disease. Secondary TR is more common and arises as a result of annular dilation caused by right ventricular enlargement and dysfunction as a consequence of pulmonary hypertension, often caused by left-sided heart disease or atrial fibrillation. Irrespective of its aetiology, TR leads to volume overload and increased wall stress, both of which negatively contribute to detrimental remodelling and worsening TR. This vicious circle translates into impaired survival and increased heart failure symptoms in patients with and without reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Interventions to correct TR are underutilised in daily clinical practice owing to increased surgical risk and late patient presentation. The recently introduced transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions aim to address this unmet need. Dedicated expertise and an interdisciplinary Heart Team evaluation are essential to integrate these new techniques successfully and select patients. The present article proposes a standardised approach to evaluate patients with TR who may be candidates for transcatheter interventions. In addition, a state-of-the-art review of the available transcatheter therapies, the main criteria for patient and device selection, and information concerning the remaining uncertainties are provided.

Results after Repair of Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation with a Three-Dimensional Annuloplasty Ring. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10215080. [PMID: 34768606 PMCID: PMC8584623 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10215080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Revised: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Tricuspid valve (TV) repair is the recommended treatment for severe functional tricuspid regurgitation (fTR) in patients undergoing left-sided surgery. For this purpose, a wide range of annuloplasty devices differing in form and flexibility are available. This study reports the results using a three-dimensional annuloplasty ring (Medtronic, Contour 3D Ring) for TV repair and analysis of risk factors. Methods: A cohort of 468 patients who underwent TV repair (TVr) with a concomitant cardiac procedure from December 2010 to January 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. Results: At follow-up, 96.1% of patients had no/trivial or mild TR. The 30-day mortality was 4.7%; it significantly differed between electively performed operations (2.7%) and urgent/emergent operations (11.7%). Risk factors for recurrent moderate and severe TR were LVEF < 50%, TAPSE < 16 mm, and moderate mitral valve (MV) regurgitation at follow-up. Preoperatively reduced renal function lead to a higher 30-day and overall mortality. Reoperation of the TV was required in six patients (1.6%). Risk factors for TV related reoperations were preoperative TV annulus over 50 mm and an implanted permanent pacemaker. Conclusions: TVr with the Contour 3D annuloplasty ring shows low TR recurrence and reoperation rates. Risk-factor analysis for the recurrence of TR revealed the importance of left- and right-ventricular function.

Abstract
•PPM/ICD-related TR has relevant clinical and prognostic impact. •LPs are an alternative to avoid lead-mediated complications. •Unexpectedly, LP can still cause significant degrees of TR. •TR after LP implantation likely results from subvalvular apparatus interaction. •Little is known about risk factors and management strategies for LP-induced TR.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the burden of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in a large cohort, determine the right ventricle involvement of patients with TR and determine the characteristics of isolated TR. METHODS AND RESULTS Prospective study where consecutive patients undergoing an echocardiographic study in 10 centres were included. All studies with significant TR (at least moderate) were selected. We considered that patients with one of pulmonary systolic hypertension >50 mmHg, left ventricular ejection fraction <35%, New York Heart Association III-IV, or older than 85 years, had a high surgical risk. A total of 35 088 echocardiograms were performed. Significant TR was detected in 6% of studies. Moderate TR was found in 69.6%, severe in 25.5%, massive in 3.9%, and torrential in 1.0% of patients. Right ventricle was dilated in 81.7% of patients with massive/torrential TR, in 55.9% with severe TR, and in 29.3% with moderate TR (P < 0.001). Primary TR was present in 7.4% of patients whereas secondary TR was present in 92.6%. Mitral or aortic valve disease was the most common aetiology (54.6%), following by isolated TR (16%). Up to 51.9% of patients with severe, massive, or torrential primary TR and 57% of patients with severe, massive, or torrential secondary TR had a high surgical risk. CONCLUSION Significant TR is a prevalent condition and a high proportion of these patients have an indication for valve intervention. More than a half of patients with severe, massive, or torrential TR had a high surgical risk. Massive/torrential TR may have implications regarding selection and monitoring patients for percutaneous treatment.

EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL-CASE REPORTS 2021; 5:ytab219. [PMID: 34377899 PMCID: PMC8343438 DOI: 10.1093/ehjcr/ytab219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 12/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Background The use of transvenous pacing leads is associated with the risk of developing tricuspid valve (TV) dysfunction. This develops through several mechanisms including the failure of leaflet coaptation or direct damage to the TV or to its sub-valvular apparatus and can result in significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Multiple approaches to pacemaker implantation after transvenous lead extraction (TLE) or surgical TV repair have been described. Placement of pacing leads across the TV is generally avoided in such circumstances. Case summary A 66-year-old woman presented with a year-long history of exertional dyspnoea, peripheral oedema, and postural neck pulsations. Her medical history included a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation for sinus node dysfunction 14 years ago. Echocardiography revealed severe lead-related TR. Her case was discussed in our multi-disciplinary team meeting. A decision was made to perform a TLE and implant a leadless pacemaker in an attempt to avoid open-heart surgery if possible. This was reserved as an option in the event of persistent severe TR. Transvenous extraction of the right ventricular lead was performed. The atrial lead was preserved and connected to and AAI device. A Micra AV was implanted allowing for atrioventricular (AV) synchronous pacing. Discussion We present the first case of successful implementation of AV sequential pacing using a dual-pacemaker approach involving the use of an AAI pacemaker and a Micra AV device. This was performed after TLE for severe lead-related TR.

Tricuspid regurgitation associated with implantable electrical device insertion: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PACING AND CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: PACE 2021; 44:1297-1302. [PMID: 34081789 DOI: 10.1111/pace.14287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and permanent pacemaker (PPM) lead placement may worsen or result in tricuspid regurgitation (TR). While the association between lead placement and the incidence of TR has been established, current understanding of this problem remains incomplete. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to pool the existing evidence to better understand the occurrence and severity of TR associated with cardiac implantable electrical device (CIED) insertion. METHODS An electronic search was performed to identify all relevant studies published from 2000 to 2018. Overall, 15 studies were selected for the analysis comprising 4019 patients with data reported on TR development following ICD or PPM lead placement. Demographic information, perioperative clinical variables, and clinical outcome measures, including pre and postoperative echocardiographic TR grade changes, were extracted and pooled for systematic review. RESULTS Mean patient age was 69 years [95% CI: 64.62-73.59], and 63% [95% CI: 57-68] were male. Devices implanted included ICD in 57% [95%CI: 43-70] and PPM in 41% [95%CI: 31-52]. The most common indications for pacemaker implantation were sick sinus syndrome in 22% [95% CI: 22-37] and AV block in 21% [95%CI:12-34. The commonest indications for ICD implantation were primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death. Atrial fibrillation was present in 37% [95%CI: 28-46] and congestive heart failure in 15% [95%CI: 2-57]. Baseline distribution of TR grades were as follows: grade 0/1 TR in 89% [95%CI: 82-93], grade 2 TR in 8% [95%CI: 5-13], grade 3 TR in 2% [95%CI: 0-7] and grade 4 TR in 2% [95%CI: 1-4]. Post-procedure, grade 0/ 1 TR decreased to 68% [95% CI: 51-81] (p < 0.01), grade 2 TR increased to 21% [15-28] (p < 0.01), grade 3 TR increased to 13% [95%CI: 5-32] (p = 0.02), and grade 4 TR increased to 7% [95%CI: 5-9] (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION ICD and PPM lead placement is associated with increased TR post-procedure. Further studies are warranted to evaluate changes in TR grade in the long term.
