Abstract:
Edge-to-edge tricuspid transcatheter repair requires extensive echocardiographic planning before the procedure. Sometimes, anatomic features may anticipate a suboptimal result. For this reason, a tailored strategy is the key to the procedural success. We report a case of massive tricuspid regurgitation due to multiple complex mechanisms that was successfully treated by clipping the antero-septal commissure to restore functional coaptation of the valve leaflets at multiple sites.
