Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Intervention
Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Intervention: Due to unsustainable effect of medical therapy and high risks of surgical treatment, transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) has been a major field of study in the world in the last 10 years. TTVI could potentially reduce TR with lower periprocedural risk and improve the patient's clinical status and prognosis. Per the ESC guidelines for surgical and interventional treatment of tricuspid regurgitation (2021 ESC/EACTS Guidelines for the Management of Valvular Heart Disease), Transcatheter intervention for symptomatic secondary severe TR may be considered in inoperable patients at a Heart Valve Centre with expertise in the treatment of tricuspid valve disease (Class IIb). 20 Transcatheter tricuspid treatment options can be divided into categories based on their mechanism of action: coaptation enhancement (edge-to-edge repair and spacer device), annuloplasty devices, caval valve implantation and valve replacement.
Study summary
The LuX-Valve Plus System is intended for the treatment of patients with at least severe TR who are symptomatic and determined by a Heart Team not to be suitable for surgical treatment. This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of the LuX-Valve Plus System in high-surgical risk patients with at least severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
