Tricuspid Valve

This channel is dedicated to news and trends in tricuspid valve interventions, surgical and transcatheter, to manage regurgitation and valve stenosis. The tricuspid valve is a rapidly growing area in structural heart interventions. Minimally invasive transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) and repair using transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER) clips are expected to become a new standard of care in the next couple years, partly because open heart tricuspid surgery has historically has poor outcomes.

CroíValve DUO device tricuspid valve. The DUO Tricuspid Coaptation Valve System includes both a prosthetic coaptation valve that works in tandem with the patient’s native tricuspid valve and an anchor system designed to adjust and lock the position of the coaptation valve as needed. According to CroíValve, the device “combines repair and replacement to provide the right solution for the right heart.”
