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.

TriClip triumphs: Tricuspid edge-to-edge repair linked to strong 30-day outcomes in real-world setting

The new study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, focused on more than 500 patients treated with Abbott’s TriClip device in Europe.

TricValve Transcatheter Bicaval Valves System and HeartMate II LVAD. A team of interventional cardiologists has made a bit of history, using a new transcatheter device to treat tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in a high-risk heart failure patient who with a previously implanted left ventricular assist device (LVAD). It represents the first time this particular device, the TricValve Transcatheter Bicaval Valves System from P+F Products, has been implanted in a patient with this particular LVAD, the HeartMate II.

Cardiologists shed new light on treating severe tricuspid regurgitation in high-risk heart failure patients

The 80-year-old patient was experiencing severe TR and already had a HeartMate II LVAD.

The LuX-Valve Plus transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) device

Cardiologists make history, perform TTVR with new-look valve for first time in U.S.

The new valve was placed inside the damaged valve via a catheter that is inserted through a small incision in the patient's neck.

Paul Sorajja, MD, director, Center for Valve and Structural Heart Disease, Minneapolis Heart Institute, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, was the principal investigator for the late-breaking TRILUMINATE pivotal trial at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2023 meeting and explains details of this landmark trial. #ACC #ACC23 #triluminate

TRILUMINATE trial may pave the way for FDA clearance for tricuspid valve clip device

Paul Sorajja, MD, discusses the late-breaking TRILUMINATE pivotal trial at ACC.23 and how tricuspid TEER performed against the current standard of care using medical therapy.

Three transcatheter tricuspid valve repair and replacement (TTVR) technologies that will likely see FDA clearance in. the next couple years include the Edwards Evoque transcatheter tricuspid valve (top left), Abbott TriClip (below) and the Edwards Lifesciences Pascal clip device (right).

Tricuspid valve therapies moving ahead of mitral therapies seeking market approval

The complexity of the mitral valve has slowed development of new transcatheter technologies, and it now seems much more likely that transcatheter devices for tricuspid valve will push ahead to gain FDA clearances.

What does radiology have to do with climate change?

Kate Hanneman, MD, explains why many vendors and hospitals want to lower radiology's impact on the environment. "Taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint in healthcare isn’t just an opportunity," she said. "It’s also a responsibility."
