Tricuspid Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Patients With Transvalvular CIED Leads: The TRILUMINATE Pivotal Trial

JACC Clin ElectrophysiolPublished international randomized, controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with the TriClip system was safe and effective in selected CIED+ subjects and did not affect CIED function. CIED+ subjects experienced similar TR reduction and quality-of-life improvements as CIED- subjects. Future work should define the treatable scope of patients with transvalvular CIED leads. (TRILUMINATE Pivotal Trial; NCT03904147).
