About this study

Old trials aimed to evaluate Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) safety and efficacy demonstrated a meaningful decreased rates of sudden death but an increased rate of hospitalization for heart failure . At the time, the chance that an endocardial lead could cause a significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR), leading to worsening heart failure, was not widely considered. Whereas, it is now well established that in patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIEDs), moderate or severe TR occurs frequently and it is associated with increased mortality and hospitalization for heart failure.

The present study aims to report the long-term results of tricuspid valve repair and replacement surgery in patients with CIEDs Indeed, patients with TR and CIEDs can be divided in 2 categories: CIEDs induced TR and CIEDs associated TR. In patients with CIEDs induced TR, the valve dysfunction is directly caused by the lead with several mechanism such as mechanical interference with tricuspid valve (TV) leaflet mobility and coaptation (impingement), valve damage during lead placement or manipulation and sub-valvular entanglement. In patients with CIEDs associated TR the valve dysfunction is not directly caused by the lead.

In 2009 approximately 720 000 CIEDs were implanted worldwide [7] and since then a continuous increase of CIEDs implantation was registered, with an estimation of 1.4 millions of CIEDs implantation in 2023. With this impressive number of CIEDs requirement, the need for surgical or trans-catheter treatment of severe TR CIEDs induced or associated, increased steadily in the past years and it likely will continue to increase in the next years. However, limited data are available regarding the outcome of tricuspid valve surgery in patients with CIEDs, particularly for the long-term results. With this study we aim to report the long-term result of tricuspid valve repair and replacement in patients with CIEDs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tricuspid Regurgitation, run by Michele De Bonis at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TR recurrency (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 7 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
