Medical devices for tricuspid regurgitation have emerged as viable treatment options for patients who do not respond to drug therapy or who are unsuitable for open-heart surgery due to high surgical risk. Recently, numerous new medical devices have been proposed and approved for use. Therefore, comprehensive reviews of the literature on the current medical devices for tricuspid regurgitation are necessary.

In contrast to Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Database data revealing <10% of all surgical aortic valve replacement procedures are performed via a minimally invasive approach, our center performs a high volume of MIAVR procedures. This propensity-score matched study aims to compare the outcomes of MIAVR versus TAVR in low-risk patients (STS Predicted Risk of Mortality <4%).

Severe, untreated tricuspid regurgitation is associated with worse clinical outcomes. While isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery has been linked to poor long-term outcomes, transcatheter TV therapies, including edge-to-edge repair and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), have emerged as effective alternatives and have been shown to improve outcomes, leading to their regulatory approval in the United States. Conduction system abnormalities are commonly seen among patients undergoing TTVR due to the close proximity of the atrioventricular node and the His bundle to the TV annulus.

Aim: To assess the incremental value of real-time three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in visualizing tricuspid valve (TV) anatomy for procedural planning and guidance of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in cases of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
Materials And Methods: An observational study was conducted on 54 patients with severe TR. The visualization of the TV leaflets during systole was graded semiquantitatively using predefined criteria: 0 points-no visible leaflet border or tissue; 1.
