New Treatment Options Available for Patients with Tricuspid Valve Disease

DAIC

In tricuspid valve regurgitation, a complex condition that Cedars-Sinai experts regularly treat, the valve between two heart chambers on the right side doesn't open or close properly.

Contemporary evaluation and treatment of tricuspid regurgitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

By contrast, the right-sided diseases, particularly the tricuspid valve (TV) and associated regurgitation, still have much to be delineated. Worsening tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with increased mortality; the non-invasive management is suboptimal; and surgical approaches carry significant risk.

Snare‐Assisted Flexion of 27‐French Leadless Pacemaker Delivery Sheath: A Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

The LLPM could not traverse the tricuspid valve. Importantly, once the delivery sheath crosses the tricuspid valve, the snare is loosened to allow directing the sheath to the right ventricular septum rather than the initial direction that was toward the right ventricular apex. The ventricular LLPM was successfully fixated.
