A Stepwise Approach for Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Very Advanced Tricuspid Regurgitation.

ABSTRACT: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is the most widely used approach for tricuspid regurgitation in patients with prohibitive surgical risk. However, TEER might not be feasible in advanced tricuspid regurgitation. In such cases, a stepwise approach with initial annuloplasty and subsequent TEER can be a worthwhile alternative, which is reported in this series. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
