Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement With a Dedicated Device in a Patient With 2 Endocardial Leads

ABSTRACT: A 79-year-old woman with a history of dilated cardiomyopathy who required a permanent peacemaker, recently upgraded to implantable cardioverter-defibrillator cardiac resynchronization therapy, was admitted for right heart failure. On echocardiography, torrential tricuspid regurgitation was noted, with 2 leads across the valve. After multidisciplinary evaluation, a dedicated transcatheter valve replacement was successfully implanted. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.) Central Illustration

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement: Principles and Design.

Project description:Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) may affect as much as 65-85% of the population with the prevalence of moderate-to-severe TR in the United States reported at greater than 1.6 million. However, only 8,000 tricuspid valve operations are performed annually in the United States. As severe TR is associated with poor outcomes, there is an unmet clinical need for surgical or percutaneous transcatheter based treatment of TR. Over the last two decades there have been significant developments in percutaneous transcatheter based therapies for valvular disease. However, this progress has not been mirrored for the tricuspid valve until recently; we are now at a cross-roads of new transcatheter devices becoming available for treatment of TR. In this review, we discuss the principles of performing transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement, analyze the devices that can be utilized and outline the challenges related to this procedure.

Update on Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement Therapies.

Project description:Severe tricuspid regurgitation is relatively common, especially in the elderly, and portends poor survival. Neither medical therapy nor conventional surgery is efficacious for most patients. In contrast, transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions are showing promise to improve quality of life and mortality. Although there is more clinical experience with transcatheter tricuspid valve repair, there are many patients for which repair is either not possible or cannot optimally reduce the severity of tricuspid regurgitation. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement is rapidly emerging and may ultimately become the preferred treatment option. In this review, we discuss transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement, analyze the devices in development and in clinical trials, and highlight the advantages and drawbacks of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement vs. repair.

Heterotopic Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement in a Patient With Carcinoid Heart Disease.

Project description:Neuroendocrine tumors can lead to carcinoid heart disease with subsequent development of severe tricuspid regurgitation due to thickening and restriction of the tricuspid leaflets. We present a patient who underwent successful heterotopic transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement for torrential tricuspid regurgitation due to carcinoid heart disease. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement Following Tricuspid Edge-To-Edge-Repair.

Project description:Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is seen as a relevant contributor of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is a novel technique to treat this condition. We present the case of an 82-year-old lady who was admitted for recurrent right heart decompensation despite having undergone treatment with tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER). The patient underwent transfemoral implantation of a 48 mm EVOQUE valve. Since the implanted Clip was not in the central part of the valve, it was pushed toward the valvular anulus by the expanded prothesis. Echocardiography showed a good result with no residual TR. Options for residual TR after T-TEER are very limited. TTVR might be suitable in selected patients with non-central Clip placement.
