In patients with CIEDs and surgically treated tricuspid regurgitation, TR is CIED-induced in about two-thirds of the cases and CIED-associated in one-third of them. In our experience, TV repair was still possible in 63% of the cases, with good long-term results and no significant durability difference between CIED-induced and CIED-associated TR.
