Does percutaneous caval valve implantation improve hemodynamics and symptoms in a patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation?
First-in-man case demonstrates that heterotopic transcatheter caval valve implantation is feasible and improves hemodynamics and symptoms in severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Lauten et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Severe tricuspid regurgitation (n=1). Percutaneous caval valve implantation was evaluated on Valve function, caval pressure, and clinical improvement. Percutaneous caval valve implantation in 1 patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation abolished IVC regurgitation and improved physical capacity over an 8-week follow-up.
