Why the study?
Older adults with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation are often ineligible for surgery, making it necessary to examine transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and geriatric cardiology integration.

Supports TEER for inoperable older adults with mitral-tricuspid disease; extends RCT evidence to multivalve repair.
Integration of geriatric assessment tools is critical to optimize outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in older adults with mitral and tricuspid valve disease.
Alkhatib et al. (2026) conducted a review in Mitral and tricuspid valve disease. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair was evaluated. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is a safe and effective alternative for older adults with mitral and tricuspid valve disease who are ineligible for surgical repair.
