Aims Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is potentially complicated by significant tricuspid valve regurgitation increase (TRI). However, there are limited data on the effect of the bidirectional rotational mechanical sheaths on significant TRI. The aim of the present study was to investigate the rate of significant changes in tricuspid regurgitation (TR) severity following mechanical rotational TLE and their outcomes. Methods and results In 158 patients (mean age 66 ± 16.9 years) undergoing mechanical rotational TLE, acute changes in TR severity were assessed by echocardiography evaluation. A significant acute TRI was defined as an increase of at least one grade with a post-extraction severity at least moderate. A total of 290 leads were extracted (mean implant duration, 93 ± 65 months). Significant TRI was noted in 5.7% of patients, and it was linked to tricuspid valve damage, TLE infection indication, and longer lead implant duration. Univariate predictors of significant TRI included implant duration of all leads [odds ratio (OR) 1.01; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.003–1.018; P = 0.001] and right ventricular leads (OR 1.01; 95% CI 1.004–1.017; P = 0.002). Severe increase of TR following TLE was an independent predictor of mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 5.20; 95% CI 1.44–18.73; P = 0.012 ] along with severe systolic dysfunction (HR 2.37; 95% CI 1.01–5.20; P = 0.032), and systemic infection (HR 2.28; 95% CI 1.06–4.89; P = 0.035). Conclusion Significant TRI was detected in 5.7% of patients following transvenous rotational mechanical lead extraction. The duration of lead implantation emerged as the sole predictor of significant TRI. Physicians engaged in TLE should exercise greater vigilance for this potential complication.
