T-TEER and Device Leads: How to Manage, Dr. Anita Asgar

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion centers on managing patients with pacemaker leads and assessing their impact on tricuspid regurgitation (TR). It highlights the importance of distinguishing between lead-attributed and lead-associated TR for appropriate intervention. The presentation includes a case study of an 83-year-old female with severe TR and a pacemaker for ten years. Imaging techniques, including fluoroscopy, are crucial to determine the lead's impact and plan suitable interventions like clipping. It emphasizes balancing procedural safety with potential lead extraction risks and collaboration with electrophysiologists for optimal patient outcomes, especially those with severe RV dysfunction.
