Lead induced tricuspid regurgitation is a common finding after pacemaker/ICD Implantation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) might be used to guide lead implantations in order to prevent tricuspid regurgitation.~In this registry, patients undergoing pacemaker/ICD implantation including a transtricuspid lead are enrolled. While in most patients lead implantation is guided by fluroscopy, in some patients lead implantation is guided by TEE in addition to fluroscopy.~Aims of this registry: Evaluation of~Incidence of lead induced tricuspid regurgitation~Mortality and morbidity of lead induced tricuspid regurgitation~Identification of risk factors for lead induced tricuspid regurgitation~Influence of the lead position within the tricuspid valve on the incidence of lead induced tricuspid regurgitation~Prevention of lead induced tricuspid regurgitation by TEE-guided lead implantation
Registry for patients undergoing pacemaker/ICD implantation including a transtricuspid lead with and without intraprocedural transesophageal echocardiography to evaluate risk factors for lead induced tricuspid regurgitation.
