Tricuspid / Pulmonary valve

Transcatheter interventions have rapidly reshaped the management of tricuspid valve disease, with landmark trials establishing feasibility and early clinical benefit.

Beyond these pivotal studies, a series of less visible but highly informative papers addressed mechanisms, complications, patient phenotypes, and unintended consequences of intervention.

This curated selection highlights ten impactful tricuspid...

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?

A 79-year-old woman with advanced right heart failure (NYHA III) was referred after repeated hospitalisations for decompensation despite optimal medical therapy. Echocardiography revealed torrential functional tricuspid regurgitation with suitable anatomy for T-TEER. Given her high surgical risk (TRISCORE 7/12) and borderline pulmonary hypertension, how would you...

Watch the replay to explore TTVR with P. Nikolai, H. Priebe-Brämer and M. Weber, and discuss current indications for transcatheter tricuspid interventions.

This session presents a series of challenging cardiology cases that span a spectrum of clinical scenarios, including innovative approaches to hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy management, rare coronary artery anomalies, fibrous lesions, and unusual acute coronary syndromes. These case studies highlight diagnostic complexities and therapeutic strategies essential for...

This year’s coverage was built on innovative formats to support one clear strategy: sharing strong messages and high-quality education through well-prepared, creative content. The #PCRLV social media team was led by Pamela Gatto, and divided into 6 tracks: aortic, mitral, tricuspid, closure, imaging and nursing.

Live case: An 86-year-old male, with a history of PPM, permanent AF, CKD stage 3, and moderately impaired LV function (50–55%), presented with symptomatic torrential mixed TR (tricuspid annular dilatation and pacing lead on the septal leaflet). An Evoque valve was implanted under fluoroscopy and TEE...

This session explores advanced transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement techniques and outcomes. It features cases of TricValve dysfunction due to intrinsic regurgitation, pioneering 'chimney technique' implantation in complex patients, right heart remodeling post-intervention, and innovative solutions including percutaneous heterotopic bicaval valve implantation following pericardiectomy.

This session addresses complex combined transcatheter interventions for multivalvular heart disease. It covers integrated transcatheter strategies for multiple valve pathologies, solutions for combined severe aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation with heavy calcification, and approaches to concomitant atrial functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. The session also discusses...

Watch a LIVE case followed by a recorded case, regarding a 78-year-old female, with a previous TAVI in 2014 (Sapien 3 26) and sarcoidosis, who presented with symptomatic TAVI stenosis. There was a mis-commissural alignment, with the neoskirt plane above the coronary plane. Under general anesthesia,...
