Filter by:An early feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of 1) the transcatheter delivery and implantation of the Cardiac Implants (CI) annuloplasty ring and 2) the adjustment of the ring approximately 90 days following implantation in patients suffering from ≥ moderate functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR).
The aim of the study is to investigate the pathophysiological implications of transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair in patient with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction and severe tricuspid regurgitation. Changes in right- and left-ventricular function as well as the interventricular dependence will be analysed on a multimodal basis including pressure-volume loop analysis and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
ARB-PMCF is a multicenter, observational study of the safety and performance of Abbott annuloplasty devices used in surgical repair of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The devices included in this study are the SJM™ Rigid Saddle Ring and SJM Séguin Annuloplasty Ring, indicated for mitral valve repair, and the SJM Tailor™ Annuloplasty Ring and SJM Tailor Annuloplasty Band, indicated for mitral or tricuspid repair. Participants will be enrolled prior to undergoing mitral or tricuspid valve repair surgery including an Abbott annuloplasty implant and will complete annual follow-up visits through five years from implant. The study is being conducted to meet post-market clinical follow-up requirements of the European Union Medical Device Directives.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is frequent and has been directly related to high mortality rates. The pathophysiology of TR is mainly functional as it occurs predominantly in the context of left-sided heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, or atrial fibrillation. Surgery is currently the primary treatment option in patients with functional TR. However, isolated tricuspid valve surgery is associated with an intolerable high risk of operative mortality and poor outcomes. New transcatheter options could be used in high-surgical risk patients. However, with often severely dilated annuli with a non-planar and elliptical shape, absence of calcification, and proximity of structures, the tricuspid valve anatomy poses many challenges. Predictors of outcome are yet to be defined in patients with TR in order to improve risk prediction for the different treatment modalities (medical, surgical, interventional). The Tricuspid Regurgitation Hamburg Cohort (TRUTH) aims to monitor patients with relevant TR, irrespective of the underlying etiology or therapeutic approach. In addition to available evidence from previously published clinical trials, elaborate prospective clinical registries, such as TRUTH, that monitor clinical routine and current practice, will be of significant importance to further enhance therapeutic options.
This is an observational, multi-center, retrospective and prospective study collecting data about patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions in a real world clinical environment. The aim is to report clinical characteristics, procedural results and short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions in Italian centres.
This study will aim to standardize the prehabilitation protocol to optimize patients and document the clinical and echo variables that could improve clinical outcomes of tricuspid valve intervention.
Multicentre observational study of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and interventional treatment.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a long-overdue valvular pathology. Its prevalence is significant and increasing with the aging of the population. It is often a consequence of chronic left cardiac pathologies or atrial fibrillation. Surgical treatment is recommended in severe symptomatic TR or when the tricuspid annulus is dilated with TR identified prior to scheduled left heart valve surgery. TR are mainly secondary (complicating left heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, atrial fibrillation and atrial dilatation) and pose a difficult problem related to the prognosis. The risk of death or hospitalization is high under medical treatment. Nevertheless, the surgical results are disappointing with significant morbidity and mortality, which are increased by associated comorbidities that are frequent in these sorts of patients. The benefit-risk assessment of surgery is limited by multiple confounders. This justifies the evaluation of alternative methods aimed at correcting TR with less interventional risk. The Clip for the tricuspid valve has been evaluated in the TRILUMINATE trial (inclusion of 85 patients with moderate-to-severe symptomatic TR with a 6-month follow-up). The Triclip system appears to be safe and effective at reducing tricuspid regurgitation by at least one grade. This reduction could translate to significant clinical improvement at 6 months post-procedure. It justified the European Conformity (CE) mark obtention. A very similar system for the mitral valve (Mitraclip) was previously tested in the randomized EVEREST II study against conventional surgery. The results of the EVEREST II trial justified the recourse to percutaneous edge-to edge mitral repair in patients with primary mitral regurgitation when the patient is contraindicated to conventional surgery. The Mitra-FR study made it possible to study the role of Mitraclip for treating patient suffering from a secondary mitral insufficiency. It leads to the implementation of this technique in selected patients. For secondary TR, several series underscored its prevalence and its clinical consequences. TR treatment justifies the proposal for a randomized study. As a matter of fact, evidence for treating are seriously lacking. Surgical surveys report hospital mortality ~ 8.8%. It, therefore, seems necessary to conduct a study as robust as possible to evaluate the contribution of clip for the tricuspid valve (as an innovative percutaneous technique) compared to conventional pharmacological treatment in patients who are unsuitable for a surgical isolated correction of the TR and who has suitable anatomy for clip for the tricuspid valve. It will be necessary to demonstrate clinical, functional (quality of life), echocardiographic and biological benefit of the percutaneous treatment vs optimized medical treatment alone.
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a serious and progressive disease. Guidelines recommend surgical valve repair of severe TR in symptomatic patients. Despite its association with excess mortality and morbidity, TR has been relatively neglected and is severely undertreated. In particular this is because isolated tricuspid surgery remains associated with high mortality rates, and thus, patients with severe TR are often deemed inoperable due to severe co-morbidities and frailty. In recent years, percutaneous CE-mark approved techniques for transcatheter tricuspid valve treatment (TTVT) have emerged as alternatives to surgery. These include (I) transcatheter annuloplasty devices (Tricuspid Cardioband) and (II) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TriClip, PASCAL). Several non-randomized studies suggested improved functional outcomes after TTVT, however, to data there is no evidence from randomized controlled trials addressing the actual efficacy of TTVT. The TRICuspid Intervention in Heart Failure trial (TRICI-HF trial) will assess the concept that TTVT will translate into a reduced morbidity and mortality. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 fashion to TTVT plus OMT (Experimental group) or OMT alone (Control group). TRICI-HF is an industry-independent, investigator-initiated strategy study and investigators may choose any suitable CE-marked percutaneous system "on-label" for TTVT.
This is a postmarket clinical follow up study on the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System and the Edwards PASCAL Precision Transcatheter Valve Repair System in transcatheter tricuspid valve repair.
