Key result
A single case report illustrates that leadless pacemaker implantation can be complicated by severe tricuspid regurgitation necessitating surgical intervention.
Why the study?
Leadless pacemakers avoid conventional transvenous leads to reduce complications such as tricuspid regurgitation, but uncommon major complications can still occur.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights that despite the advantages of leadless pacemakers, severe tricuspid regurgitation requiring surgical intervention can still occur as a major complication.
Severe TR after LP implantation is a rare major complication; case report leaves open incidence and risk factors.
Leadless pacemakers (LPs) represent a revolutionary advancement in cardiac pacing, offering a number of advantages over conventional transvenous devices. Many of these advantages lie in the fact that the absence of a pacemaker generator and pacing lead may result in less pocket and device infections, venous thrombosis and occlusion, and tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) and dysfunction. We present a case illustrating an uncommon major complication of severe TR after LP implantation necessitating surgical intervention.

Kilaru et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Severe tricuspid regurgitation after leadless pacemaker implantation (n=1). Leadless pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Severe tricuspid regurgitation necessitating surgical intervention. A single case report illustrates that leadless pacemaker implantation can be complicated by severe tricuspid regurgitation necessitating surgical intervention.
