Key result
Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation was successfully deployed in 3 patients with pre-existing transvalvular device leads, with unchanged device lead function.

Is transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation feasible in patients with pre-existing transvalvular device leads?
Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation is feasible in patients with pre-existing transvalvular device leads without acutely compromising lead function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Feasible without acute lead issues in small series; leaves open durability, safety, and need for prospective data.
Eleid et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Dysfunctional bioprosthetic tricuspid valves with transvalvular device leads (n=3). Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation was evaluated on Valve deployment success and device lead function. Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation was successfully deployed in 3 patients with pre-existing transvalvular device leads, with unchanged device lead function.
