TRiCares Announces Successful Implantation of Minimally Invasive Topaz Tricuspid Heart Valve Replacement System in Patient with a Pacemaker

DAIC

Topaz is an innovative, minimally invasive device designed specifically to help patients suffering from severe TR, without the need for open heart surgery. Importantly, the performance of the pacemaker was not affected by the valve. The implantation in our clinic has shown that also patients with a pacemaker benefit from it.”

A Pacemaker quiz and a new concept.

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

I thought, it was pacemaker extrusion. It is an intentional exterior placement of a permanent pacemaker generator mimicking an extrusion due to pocket infection. Here is a patient, where a permanent pacemaker was kept temporarily for a few weeks or a month in high-risk reversible complete heart block situations.
