Key result
T-TEER emerges as a feasible and effective minimally invasive option for severe TR in high-risk patients.
Why the study?
Severe tricuspid regurgitation carries adverse outcomes, while the benefit of isolated surgery remains unclear and medical therapy cannot delay disease progression.
Does transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) improve outcomes in high-risk surgical patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation?

Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair is emerging as a feasible and effective minimally invasive treatment option for severe tricuspid regurgitation in high-risk surgical patients.
T-TEER may offer a treatment option for high-risk severe TR; leaves open need for randomized efficacy trials.
Growing evidence indicates that severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The prognostic benefit of isolated TR surgery remains unclear, and medical therapy for decompensated right heart failure alone cannot delay disease progression. TR assessment and management have substantially evolved in recent years. Currently, minimally invasive catheter-based techniques have emerged as a feasible and effective option for TR treatment in high-risk surgical patients. Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) has been proposed and applied as an interventional treatment for TR, and has yielded promising preliminary results. This review provides an overview of the current state of T-TEER.

Zhang et al. (2024) conducted a review in Tricuspid Regurgitation. Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) was evaluated. Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) has emerged as a feasible and effective minimally invasive option for treating severe tricuspid regurgitation in high-risk patients.
