Transcatheter Repair of Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Clinically significant severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common untreated pathology associated with increased mortality. Even though surgical valve replacement has been the mainstay option, transcatheter intervention is a novel and potentially effective tool.
