Tricuspid regurgitation severity and transcatheter tricuspid annuloplasty

Abstract Introduction Transcatheter tricuspid annuloplasty is a promising therapeutic alternative for the treatment of regurgitation (TR) in patients with high surgical risk. To date, published experience percutaneous devices quite limited. The objective this study to present impact transcatheter band implantation on degree TR and several echocardiographic parameters series 27 patients. Methods A single-center cohort was followed up prospectively after (mean follow-up: 10,39 months) (Figure 1). (mild, moderate, severe, massive, torrential) measured before procedure, as well at 6 months one year follow-up. Other have also been considered, such septal-lateral end-diastolic diameter annulus, vena contracta (VC), regurgitant orifice area (ROA) 2D, annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) fractional change (FAC). Results Initially, there were 22.3% torrential TR, 29.6% massive 48% severe. After these percentages reduced 3.8%, 7.7% 23.1% respectively, leading an amount 65% mild or moderate TR. With respect lateral septum ring, mean initially 44.74 mm. it decreased 34.5 mm (22% reduction) and, can be seen during follow-up, remains stable over time. ROA VC significantly while TAPSE, CAF RVEF do not show significant changes 2). Percutaneous demonstrated notable reduction our study. differences are already noticeable from moment procedure maintained throughout where stability septolateral ERO observed.
