Initial Results after the Implementation of an Edge-To-Edge Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair Program.

ABSTRACT: Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) has emerged as an alternative for the treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). We report our initial experience with an edge-to-edge TTVr system in a high-volume institution. We included consecutive patients who underwent edge-to-edge TTVr systems. The primary efficacy endpoint was a reduction in the TR of at least one grade. The primary safety endpoint was procedure-related clinical serious adverse events. A total of 28 patients underwent TTVr with edge-to-edge systems. All patients presented with at least severe TR with a high impact on quality of life (82% of patients in NYHA class ≥ III). The Triclip system was the most used device (89%). The primary efficacy endpoint was met in all patients. Only one patient experienced a procedural
