Tricuspid Clip (TriClip), TEER (Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair of the Tricuspid leaflet)

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, is predictive of poor survival if left untreated. Medical therapy, consisting mostly of diuretics, is of limited efficacy. Clinical sequelae, including right heart dysfunction, peripheral edema, and liver congestion, confer a poor quality of life and poor prognosis. Surgical tricuspid repair and replacement have significant mortality and morbidity risks due to patient comorbidities and poor right heart function.
