Key result
MitraClip edge-to-edge repair successfully reduces severe tricuspid regurgitation in a single patient case report.
Why the study?
Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair using the MitraClip system for severe degenerative tricuspid regurgitation in patients too fragile for surgery was not well described.
Does percutaneous edge-to-edge repair with MitraClip reduce tricuspid regurgitation in a fragile patient with severe degenerative tricuspid regurgitation?

Supports percutaneous tricuspid edge-to-edge repair in frail patients; leaves open efficacy, durability, and selection criteria pending prospective data.
Lesevic et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Severe tricuspid regurgitation (n=1). Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair with MitraClip was evaluated on Reduction in tricuspid regurgitation. Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair using the MitraClip system successfully reduced severe tricuspid regurgitation from Grade 3/3 to Grade 1/3 in an 84-year-old female patient.
