Abstract

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common pathology in the daily practice of a cardiologist. This disease entity is associated with significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Classically, surgical repair or replacement were the only therapeutic options present and were often not performed due to high postprocedural mortality. Transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention has emerged as a novel and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of significant TR. Several devices have been developed with different mechanisms of action. In this review, we will provide an overview of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of TR using the TriClip device (Abbott, Santa Clara, CA, USA).
