Supports TTVR for severe TR; leaves open durability, safety, and need for randomized confirmation.
TTVR is an emerging therapeutic option for severe tricuspid regurgitation that effectively eliminates TR and improves symptoms, though challenges like conduction disturbances and bleeding remain.
Silva et al. (2026) conducted a review in Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) was evaluated. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement provides effective tricuspid regurgitation elimination, promotes reverse right ventricular remodeling, and improves symptoms and quality of life.
