Purpose Of The Review:
Annular-based strategies for treating tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation do not always have satisfactory long-term outcomes. Management of failed TV annuloplasty can be challenging and requires a dedicated heart team approach. This review explores the treatment options available for failed TV annuloplasty.
Recent Findings:
Recent developments and novel percutaneous treatment options have emerged as promising alternatives for patients with failed TV annuloplasty. Leaflet-based interventions, valve-in-valve procedures, transcatheter tricuspid valves and new-generation trans-caval valves are all feasible options, which can assure good results whilst minimizing risks for the patient. Failure of tricuspid annuloplasty is not uncommon amongst patients treated with either a tricuspid ring or suture-based device. The complex anatomy, physiology and clinical risk profile should be carefully evaluated on an individual patient-by-patient basis in order to select the most appropriate clinical and percutaneous treatment strategy. Different transcatheter tricuspid valve repair or replacement techniques may provide an attractive alternative treatment option for managing this challenging patient cohort.
