Transvenous leads have been implicated in tricuspid valve (TV) dysfunction, but limited data are available regarding the effect of extracting leads across the TV on valve regurgitation. The aim of this study is to quantify tricuspid regurgitation (TR) before and after lead extraction and identify predictors of worsening TR.

Lead extraction across the tricuspid valve worsens tricuspid regurgitation, with certain predictors of worsening tricuspid regurgitation.
