Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for treatment of tricuspid regurgitation: where do we stand today and what does the future hold?
Get the surgeon’s perspective versus the interventional cardiologist’s perspective, based on the TRILUMINATE trial!
Summary
Paola Redaelli interviews first Fabien Praz then Francesco Maisano to get their feedback on transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for treatment of tricuspid regurgitation, as covered by the TRILUMINATE Trial. Compare the surgeon's perspective with the interventional cardiologist's perspective!
- In most cases torrential TR remains at least severe after Triclip: would you still perform this procedure on torrential TR?
- In which patients do you consider this procedure futile? Why?
- There are few data about postoperative medical therapy, because only diuretics have been mentioned. Do you have a therapy protocol after Triclip?
- Are we ready to perform this procedure in every hospital?
- Do you think there is still need for surgery on tricuspid valve?
