Feasibility and Challenges of Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for Very Large Tricuspid Valve Gaps

Massive and torrential tricuspid regurgitation may be accompanied by very large gaps, posing a challenge for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). These 2 cases involve patients who underwent successful TEER despite very large gaps. Both patients experienced significant improvement after TEER. F...

Description
Summary:Massive and torrential tricuspid regurgitation may be accompanied by very large gaps, posing a challenge for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). These 2 cases involve patients who underwent successful TEER despite very large gaps. Both patients experienced significant improvement after TEER. Feasibility and challenges of TEER in very large gaps are presented. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.) [Display omitted]
