Highlights the unmet need for subvalvular procedures to address functional tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular failure.
There is an unmet need to halt the sequelae of right ventricular failure (RVF) and reduce tricuspid valve (TV) deterioration. Left-sided heart failure and pulmonary hypertension result in RVF, triggering in a vicious cycle that leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Due to pulmonary hypertension, volume overload, and/or ischemic wall motion abnormalities in RVF,1 the TV papillary muscle is displaced leading to leaflet tethering, which results in functional—or secondary—tricuspid regurgitation.
