Tricuspid Valve

This channel is dedicated to news and trends in tricuspid valve interventions, surgical and transcatheter, to manage regurgitation and valve stenosis. The tricuspid valve is a rapidly growing area in structural heart interventions. Minimally invasive transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) and repair using transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER) clips are expected to become a new standard of care in the next couple years, partly because open heart tricuspid surgery has historically has poor outcomes.

CroíValve DUO device tricuspid valve

CroíValve kicks off early feasibility study for new TR device, names cardiologist Martin Leon to advisory board

The company hopes to enroll 15 patients to monitor the safety and effectiveness of its new-look transcatheter device for severe tricuspid regurgitation.

Key trends in transcatheter tricuspid and mitral valve technologies

The mitral valve has been an especially challenging target for transcatheter interventions, but there are reasons to think key breakthroughs are on the horizon. We talked to Kendra Grubb, MD, about this and other ongoing trends at TCT 2023.
