Intervention
Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement or repair devices (including leaflet approximation devices, annuloplasty devices, orthotopic valve implants, and heterotopic valve implants)
Transcatheter devices represent an emerging therapeutic approach for tricuspid regurgitation, offering potential alternatives to high-risk open surgical procedures.
