“Since severe TR patients tend to be older with a higher comorbidity burden, perhaps improving mortality and reducing heart failure admissions are unrealistic goals as opposed to improving symptoms.”
T-TEER may improve health status in severe TR but should not yet change practice; supports low-certainty consensus while leaving open need for RCTs.
T-TEER with the TriClip system resulted in substantial and sustained health status improvement in patients with severe TR compared with medical therapy alone.
