Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is a feasible treatment for severe tricuspid regurgitation in heart transplant recipients. This minimally invasive approach offers a potential bridge to other therapies for this high-risk population.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Cardiac Surgery
Background:
- Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) affects nearly 20% of heart transplant recipients, predicting mortality and retransplantation.
- TR in heart transplant recipients can stem from biopsy trauma or graft dysfunction, with surgical repair carrying high risks.
- Experience with transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) in this patient group is limited.
