The leading aetiology of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in developed countries is functional, secondary to left side heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.1 Currently, moderate-to-severe TR affects approximately 1.6 million patients in the United States, of whom only 8,000 undergo tricuspid surgery annually;2 this results in an extremely large number of untreated patients with significant TR, a… View more

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common, affecting 5% of the elderly population and, when its severity reaches moderate to severe, is an independent predictor of increased mortality.1–3 The pathophysiology of TR is mainly functional as it occurs in the context of pulmonary hypertension, left-sided heart disease and AF.4 These lead to deformation of the right ventricle (RV) and the right atrium (RA… View more

Patients with multivalvular disease (MVD) can present with a variety of valve pathologies and combinations, often requiring a complex treatment strategy. Both the Euro Heart Survey and the EURObservational Research Programme Valvular Heart Disease Registry (presented at the European Society of Cardiology [ESC] 2018 meeting) demonstrated that more than one-fifth of patients with native valve… View more

Accumulating evidence suggests that tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is independently associated with reduced long-term survival in the community and patients with ischaemic or dilated cardiomyopathy.1 Patients with moderate-to-severe TR suffer symptoms of progressive right heart failure, which are often difficult to treat with diuretic therapy. Prevalence estimates based on data from the Framingham… View more

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a complex disorder requiring the understanding of mitral anatomy and pathophysiology. With the increasing patient population of mitral regurgitation, both functional and degenerative types, and our desire for less invasive treatment approaches, transcatheter mitral valve therapies (TMVT) have emerged. After more than a decade of advancements, development in TMVT still… View more

Prof Stephan Baldus (University of Köln Medical Center, DE) shares insights from the TriCLASP post-market study (NCT04614402). This postmarket clinical follow up study, presented at EuroPCR 2022, assessed the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System in transcatheter tricuspid valve repair. Discussion Points: 1. Unmet needs of patients with TR 2. Study… View more
