  Figure 1. T-TEER in Asian Patients Successful implantation of tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) devices was achieved in 76 patients (97.4%), including 66 with TriClip and 10 with MitraClip using the “miskey” technique. Among the 76 patients with successful T-TEER implantation, 66 patients (86.6%) showed improved NYHA functional class, with class III/IV decreasing from 64.5% to 15.8% at 30 days (P < 0.001∗). The proportion with ≥3+ tricuspid regurgitation (TR) reduced to 6.58% before discharge and 19.7% at 30 days (P < 0.001∗). Among 42 patients who underwent standalone T-TEER without concomitant left-sided procedure, a significant trend toward shorter procedure times per implanted clip (P = 0.0152∗) was observed over time. The median procedure time per clip decreased from 105 minutes (68.3-156) in the initial 5 cases to 55.0 minutes (51.7-65.0) in the most recent 5 cases (P = 0.0317∗). 3D ICE = 3-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography.
