Abstract:
Percutaneous treatment of tricuspid valve regurgitation using MitraClip can be performed safely achieving improvement in reduction of regurgitation. Tricuspid valve shows different anatomic variations, in particular regarding the number of leaflets, which could represent a challenge for transcatheter valve intervention. We present a case of massive tricuspid regurgitation in a 4-leaf clover valve. We implanted a first MitraClip into the anteroseptal commissure and then a second one between the 2 posterior leaflets, with a successful reduction of residual regurgitation. In conclusion, this approach can be safely performed in a 4-leaflet right ventricular valve.
