Project description:Transcatheter tricuspid intervention is a rapidly evolving field with multiple classes of therapeutic devices currently in development. Procedural success in tricuspid intervention is predicated on appropriate device selection for patient specific anatomy and satisfactory imaging for intra-procedural guidance. This review will outline protocols and methodology for multi-modality imaging assessment of the tricuspid valve and associated structures, with emphasis on anatomic and functional characteristics that determine suitability for each class of tricuspid intervention. Intra-procedural imaging requirements for each class of device, with design and procedural imaging guidance of specific devices, will also be addressed.

Project description:Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) has emerged as an option for treating patients with tricuspid regurgitation. Few studies have explored intraprocedural maneuvers to optimize leaflet-grasping T-TEER in order to improve technical success. This case series of 3 patients describes maneuvers that facilitated T-TEER in patients with large coaptation gaps or short leaflet lengths. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Project description:Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is seen as a relevant contributor of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is a novel technique to treat this condition. We present the case of an 82-year-old lady who was admitted for recurrent right heart decompensation despite having undergone treatment with tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER). The patient underwent transfemoral implantation of a 48 mm EVOQUE valve. Since the implanted Clip was not in the central part of the valve, it was pushed toward the valvular anulus by the expanded prothesis. Echocardiography showed a good result with no residual TR. Options for residual TR after T-TEER are very limited. TTVR might be suitable in selected patients with non-central Clip placement.

Project description:Acute afterload mismatch and left ventricular dysfunction after mitral valve repair are well established. The impact of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) on right ventricular (RV) function is less clearly defined. To our knowledge, there are no reports of acute RV dysfunction after TTVr. Here we report a case of acute afterload mismatch after successful TTVr. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Project description:BackgroundTricuspid regurgitation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, but with limited treatment options. The objective of this study is to compare the demographic characteristics, complications, and outcomes of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) versus surgical tricuspid valve replacement (STVR) or surgical tricuspid valve repair (STVr), using real-world data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database.Methods and resultsOur study analyzed data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016 to 2018 and identified 92, 86, and 84 patients with tricuspid insufficiency who underwent STVr, STVR, and TTVr, respectively. The mean ages of patients who received STVr, STVR, and TTVr were 65.03 years, 66.3 years, and 71.09 years, respectively, with TTVr patients significantly older than those who received STVr (P < 0.05). Patients who received STVr or STVR had higher mortality rates (8.7% and 3.5%, respectively) compared to those who received TTVr (1.2%). Patients who underwent STVr or STVR were also more likely to experience perioperative complications, including third-degree atrioventricular block (8.7% STVr vs. 1.2% TTVr, P = 0.329; 38.4% STVR vs. 1.2% TTVr, P < 0.05), respiratory failure (5.4% STVr vs. 1.2% TTVr, P = 0.369; 15.1% STVR vs. 1.2% TTVr, P < 0.05), respiratory complications (6.5% STVr vs. 1.2% TTVr, P = 0.372; 19.8% STVR vs. 1.2% TTVr, P < 0.05), acute kidney injury (40.2% STVr vs. 27.4% TTVr, P = 0.367; 34.9% STVR vs. 27.4% TTVr, P = 0.617), and fluid and electrolyte disorders (44.6% STVr vs. 22.6% TTVr, P = 0.1332; 50% STVR vs. 22.6% TTVr, P < 0.05). In addition, the average cost of care and the average length of hospital stay were higher for patients who underwent STVr or STVR than for those who received TTVr (USD$37995 ± 356008.523 STVr vs. USD$198397 ± 188943.082 TTVr, P < 0.05; USD$470948 ± 614177.568 STVR vs. USD$198397 ± 188943.082 TTVr, P < 0.05; 15.4 ± 15.19 STVr vs. 9.6 ± 10.21 days TTVr, P = 0.267; 24.7 ± 28.81 STVR vs. 9.6 ± 10.21 days TTVr, P < 0.05).ConclusionTTVr has shown to have favorable outcomes compared to STVr or STVR, but more research and clinical trials are required to help formulate evidence-based guidelines for the role of catheter-based management in tricuspid valve disease.

Project description:The tricuspid valve is a complex structure with normal function dependent on the leaflet morphology, right atrial and annular dynamics, and right ventricular and chordal support. Thus, the pathophysiology of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is equally complex and current medical and surgical management options are limited. Transcatheter devices are currently being investigated as possible treatment options with lower morbidity and mortality than open surgical procedures. These devices can be divided by their implant location/mechanism of action: leaflet approximation devices, annuloplasty devices, orthotopic valve implants, and heterotopic valve implants. The current review will discuss each class of transcatheter device therapy, and further delve into the current understanding of who and when to treat. Finally, we will include a brief discussion of the future of device and surgical therapy trials for TR and the remaining questions to answer about this complex disease process.

Project description:BackgroundSymptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is increasingly prevalent and impairs quality of life and survival, despite medical treatment. Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR) has recently become available as a treatment option for patients not eligible for tricuspid valve surgery. In this study we describe the early experience with TTVR in the Netherlands.MethodsAll consecutive patients scheduled for TTVR in two tertiary hospitals were included in the current study. Patients were symptomatic and had severe functional TR. TTVR was performed either with the MitraClip (off-label use) or dedicated TriClip delivery system and device. Procedural success was defined as achievement of clip implantation, TR reduction ≥ 1 grade and no need for re-do surgical or transcatheter intervention. Clinical improvement was evaluated after 4 weeks.ResultsTwenty-one patients (median age 78 years, 33% male, 95% New York Heart Association class ≥ 3, 100% history of atrial fibrillation) underwent TTVR. Procedural success was achieved in 16 patients, of whom 15 reported symptomatic improvement (New York Heart Association class 1 or 2). There was no in-hospital mortality and no major complications occurred. Baseline glomerular filtration rate and TR coaptation gap size were associated with procedural success.ConclusionThe current study showed that TTVR seems a promising treatment option for patients with severe functional TR deemed high risk for surgery. Successful TR reduction is most likely in patients with limited coaptation gap size and strongly determines clinical benefit. Adequate patient selection and timing of treatment seem essential for an optimal patient outcome.

Project description:Introduction: Clinically significant severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common untreated pathology associated with increased mortality. Even though surgical valve replacement has been the mainstay option, transcatheter intervention is a novel and potentially effective tool. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review that assessed and compared clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of coaptation and annuloplasty devices in patients with clinically significant TR. Methods: PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE were searched for articles published from August 2016 until February 2023. Primary endpoints were technical and procedural successes. Secondary endpoints were TR grade, NYHA, change in 6 min walk distance (6MWD), and echocardiographic parameters at 30-day follow-up. Results: We included thirty-eight studies consisting of 2273 patients with severe symptomatic TR (NYHA III-IV 77% and severe/massive/torrential TR 83.3%) and high surgical risk (mean EUROSCORE of 7.54). The technical success for the annuloplasty devices was 96.7% and for the coaptation device was 94.8%. The procedural success for the annuloplasty devices was 64.6% and for the coaptation device was 81.4%. The 6MWD increased by 17 m for the coaptation devices and increased by 44 m after 30 days for the annuloplasty devices. A reduction in TR grade to <2 was seen in 70% of patients with coaptation and 59% of patients with annuloplasty devices. Conclusions: Transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention appears to be feasible and is associated with favorable outcomes.
