Tricuspid valve: Is Percutaneous Intervention Feasible in Patients with Definite Pacemaker?

Tricuspid valve: Is Percutaneous Intervention Feasible in Patients with Definite Pacemaker?

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. As we know, with higher life expectancy comes a significant increase in the use of definite pacemakers, defibrillators and resynchronization devices. Along these lines, the presence of catheters is associated to tricuspid regurgitation, which over time might become severe, leading to cardiac regurgitation and potentially heart failure.  This group is

More Evidence on Tricuspid Valve Repair

While still lacking large-scale randomized trials, evidence is slowly building for transcatheter tricuspid valve repair. This work, presented at the TCT 2019 Congress and simultaneously published in JACC, shows that transcatheter tricuspid valve repair is not only feasible, but also likely to reduce the rates of mortality and heart failure rehospitalization compared with medical therapy alone.

Physiological and Clinical Changes After Tricuspid Repair

After the recent announcement by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) green-lighting transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients across the whole spectrum, and given the advancements regarding devices already in the market (such as MitraClip) and a variety of pulmonary valves, there is only one territory left to conquer: the long forgotten tricuspid

Impact of Edge to Edge Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair

Reducing tricuspid regurgitation with transcatheter valve repair is associated to improved liver function, which is often ignored by many cardiologists. This is especially true in cases with deteriorated liver function prior valve repair. Instead, kidney function did not show any changes. Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair seems attractive especially in patients with liver failure. Edge to

EuroPCR 2019 | TRILUMINATE: Tricuspid Repair with Clip Improves Regurgitation and Quality of Life

Transcatheter therapy offers a promise for a largely forgotten valve given the lack of therapeutic options. Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair with clip seems to offer some hope to patients with tricuspid regurgitation according to the TRILUMINATE. At 30 days, transcatheter repair with clip significantly reduced tricuspid regurgitation at least in one grade in most patients, which

Tricuspid valve repair with the MitraClip technique

Current surgical and medical treatment options for severe tricuspid regurgitation are extremely limited. However, this historically forgotten valve seems to have the option of transcatheter repair, nowadays.   This observational study assessed the safety and feasibility of the MitraClip system for patients with severe chronic tricuspid regurgitation.   All patients presented severe tricuspid regurgitation and
