Tricuspid Leaflet Gap-Reduction Maneuvers During Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair.

ABSTRACT: Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) has emerged as an option for treating patients with tricuspid regurgitation. Few studies have explored intraprocedural maneuvers to optimize leaflet-grasping T-TEER in order to improve technical success. This case series of 3 patients describes maneuvers that facilitated T-TEER in patients with large coaptation gaps or short leaflet lengths. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
