For Millions with TR, a state of the art Treatment has Emerged1
TriClip™ Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair (TEER) is a non-surgical alternative treatment for Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) that offers a sustained reduction of TR with significant improvements in clinical outcomes and proven safety
- Patients with severe symptomatic TR that are high surgical risk
- Patients who are not seeing improvement from medical therapy alone
PATIENTS WITH SEVERE TRICUSPID REGURGITATION HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED QUALITY OF LIFE
- Shortness of breath
- Peripheral edema
- Ascites
- Fatigue
- Declining exercise capacity
Current Treatment Options Have Limitations
For many patients with TR, medical management is not enough
Medical management for TR has little impact on survival2
Most patients receive medical management until right heart failure or end-organ dysfunction appears 3
Retrospective analysis of 13,026 patients with HFrEF Stage B or C with EF < 50%. Exclusions criteria included previous valve surgery, PPML and moderate or severe organic, mitral or aortic valve disease.2
Surgery is High Risk and Often Denied3,4
Surgery for TR is seldom performed. Factors prohibiting surgery include:
- High operative risk (8%–13% operative mortality)
- Multiple comorbidities
- Advanced age
- Lack of effectiveness
