About the episode

EuroPCR 23 - Dr Paul Sorajja (Abbott Northwestern Hospital, US) joined us to discuss the TRILUMINATE Pivotal study (NCT03904147). 

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TriClip, Abbott) in improving clinical outcomes for symptomatic patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who have an intermediate or higher estimated risk for mortality or morbidity associated with tricuspid valve surgery. 700 patients were randomized into the TEER group and the medical therapy group. The data, presented at EuroPCR shows a reduction in tricuspid regurgitation in the device group as compared to control, and a marked increase in quality-of-life as measured using KCCQ scores. 

Interview Questions:

  1. What are some of the unmet needs in patients with TR?
  2. What was the study design, patient population and outcome measures?
  3. What are the key findings to date?
  4. Were there any specific aspects of quality of life that showed the most notable improvement?
  5. What are the take-home messages for clinicians? 
  6. What are the next steps? How do you see the future of TEER?

Recorded on-site at EuroPCR 2023, Paris.
