Prevention of Pacemaker Lead Induced Tricuspid regurgitAtion by Transesophageal eCho guidEd Implantation (PLACE)
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Additional guidance of lead implantation by transesophageal echocardiography: Transesophageal echocardiography guidance of lead implantation targeting a stable lead position in a tricuspid valve commissure (preferentially postero-septal) and an apical ventricular lead position
Study summary
This is the first randomized controlled trial comparing transesophageal echocardiography + fluoroscopy guided lead implantation vs. standard lead implantation guided by fluoroscopy only. Patients are randomized 1:1 in the two groups and followed up for up to 3 years.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Worsening of tricuspid regurgitation by at least one grade — Mean follow up of 2 years
Worsening of tricuspid regurgitation by at least one grade on transthoracic echocardiography according to current guidelines
