Implication

Single-center analysis reveals stable tricuspid regurgitation in patients undergoing lead extraction, indicating laser tools increase the risk of worsening valve dysfunction.

Key Points

Lead extraction across the tricuspid valve leaves overall tricuspid regurgitation largely unchanged, though laser extraction is linked to greater worsening.
Average tricuspid regurgitation grades remained similar at 1.18 before versus 1.15 after lead extraction, with significant worsening seen in only 2.5%.
Analysis of echocardiographic data before and after lead removal shows tricuspid valve stability, though single-center findings call for caution with laser tools.
