Treating patients with TRICUSPID REGURGITATION
The TriClip™ Tricuspid Valve Repair System (TVRS) offers a non-surgical, alternative treatment for tricuspid regurgitation (TR). It is ideal for the following candidates:
- Patients with severe, symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation
- Patients in whom TR medical therapy is not enough
- Patients who are high surgical risk
PATIENTS WITH SEVERE TRICUSPID REGURGITATION HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED QUALITY OF LIFE
- Shortness of breath
- Peripheral edema
- Ascites
- Fatigue
- Declining exercise capacity
PATIENTS IN WHOM STANDARD MEDICAL THERAPY IS NOT ENOUGH
Medications have limited impact on survival.
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.1
HIGH-RISK SURGICAL PATIENTS2,3
Surgery for TR is seldom performed. Factors prohibiting surgery include:
- High operative risk (8%–13% operative mortality)
- Multiple comorbidities
- Advanced age
- Lack of effectiveness
