Tricuspid valve (TV) insufficiency is one of the more important complications in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices due to the endocardial lead [1]. The frequency of this complication is growing with the increasing number of implanted and removed leads crossing the TV [2] and with trauma upon removal of the old lead that increasingly grows into the heart tissue. However, in some cases, even serious heart damage, tricuspid regurgitation and other symptoms are not observed [3].
