Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 64 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - subjects who require extraction of (one or more) pace/sense or shock leads. - age > 18 years

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Covering of the lead by the shadow of the TEE probe on fluoroscopic X-ray (in AP view). Score: no covering, slight covering (no pullback needed), significant covering (probe pull back necessary). - Image quality assessment of intraoperative microTEE, sufficient for detection of complications such as pericardial effusion, tamponade, myocardial perforation and vascular laceration (score: good or bad. If bad: switch probe if microTEE was used). - Time delay to first pull back (in min, from first attempt to pull the lead after insertion of a normal stilet). - The number of TEE probe pull backs and reinsertions. - Quantification of image quality of 3D MicroTEE reconstructions, compared to 3D TTE and conventional 3D TEE images. (Image quality score of the 3D MicroTEE reconstructions compared to 3D TTE/conventional 3D TEE : better, similar, worse) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Location of assumed lead adhesions in preoperative 3D TTE/TEE (subclavian vein, innominate vein, superior caval vein, atrial or ventricular wall, tricuspid valve). - Severity of pre- and post-procedural TR (score: 0: no TR, 1: mild TR, 2: moderate TR, 3: moderate to severe, 4: severe) and calculation of increase in severity of TR. - Correlation between the surface of the tricuspid valve tissue present on the lead after extraction and (1) pre- and periprocedural TEE assumed lead adhesions, (2) attempts made to adapt the extraction technique, and (3) the increase in the severity of the TR. | — |
