About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the development and worsening of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients who have cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
The main objective is to compare left bundle branch area pacing (LBBaP) and leadless pacemakers against conventional pacemakers in terms of TR exacerbation.
Participants with these devices will have their retrospective and prospective clinical data analyzed and will undergo 3D transthoracic echocardiography to identify the exact mechanical causes of TR.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged 19 years or older.
Patients who underwent the implantation procedure on or after January 2022.
Voluntary informed consent provided by the patient or their legal representative for the review of medical records and study-related data throughout the entire study period.
Disqualifiers
Patients with lead-based CIEDs whose leads do not cross the tricuspid annulus or those with two or more leads crossing the annulus.
Patients whose baseline degree of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) cannot be assessed due to the absence of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed within three months of the procedure.
Patients with a history of ventricular lead extraction.
Patients who have undergone tricuspid valve replacement surgery.
Trial population
Subjects aged 19 years or older who underwent de novo implantation of a leadless PPM or a cardiac implantable electronic device (PPM or ICD) with trans-tricuspid leads at Samsung Medical Center between 2022 and 2025, and are at least one year post-implantation
Trial design
Cohort

Treatments tested in this trial
3D Transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation
Diagnostic testThe incidence and mechanisms of worsening tricuspid regurgitation are identified through three-dimensional echocardiography, and the resulting structural and functional changes in the heart are evaluated.
