Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is frequent in patients with leads from rhythm control devices. Percutaneous treatment of TR can be an effective therapy in these patients but needs to be tailored based on valve anatomy and the underlying mechanism of the TR as shown in the case series that we present. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair; pacemaker lead; tricuspid regurgitation.
