Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Patients With Complex Tricuspid Valve Anatomy
Authors' conclusion
In patients with complex tricuspid anatomies, TEER with the TriClip system demonstrated excellent procedural safety with significant TR reduction and associated improvements in quality of life at 1 year.
