How should I treat a torrential tricuspid valve regurgitation in a young patient who remains symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy?

Case available in German

A frail patient presents with worsening NYHA class III dyspnoea and peripheral oedema despite optimal medical therapy. Previously managed conservatively, severe tricuspid regurgitation has progressed to a torrential grade, with right-sided chamber dilatation and complex valve anatomy.

How would you treat this patient?
