Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair in a patient with isolated functional tricuspid valve regurgitation

Abstract

A 60-year-old man was hospitalized with chronic right heart failure, ascites, and peripheral oedema. He had a history of ischaemic cardiomyopathy without need for revascularization, persistent atrial fibrillation, and renal failure. Echocardiography showed moderately reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 35–40%, without relevant AV or MV disease, severe right heart dilatation, and severe functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) causing chronic right heart volume overload (PISA 1.5 cm, EROA 53 mm …
