milla1cf Mon, 06/10/2024 - 17:58 June 10, 2024 — Atrium Health Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute has successfully completed the first commercial tricuspid clip procedure in the Carolinas, performed in May at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center.
The Intrepid TMVR is a heartvalve that is designed to help alleviate mitral regurgitation so that blood can flow through the heart in the intended direction,” said Matthew Saybolt , M.D., FACC, principal site investigator and medical director, Structural Heart Disease Program, Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
Traditionally, cardiothoracic surgeons have repaired or replaced the tricuspid valve during open-heartsurgery and only when absolutely necessary; such surgeries are complex and risky. Catheter-based procedures offer an alternative for patients who are not candidates for open-heartsurgery.
a Structural Heart Disease Fellow at Henry Ford Hospital, is also optimistic that these findings will lead to helping more people. Patients with severely calcified mitral stenosis are often not candidates for conventional open-heartsurgery,” said Dr. Giustino. The research letter’s lead author, Gennaro Giustino, M.D.,
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common and serious disease for which openheartsurgery and symptomatic pharmacologic treatment are the current standard treatment options. Owing to high mortality risk, access to openheartsurgery is severely restricted and is not considered an option for most patients with TR.

The EVOQUE tricuspid valve replacement system is a device designed to treat patients with severe leaking of the tricuspid valve, known as tricuspid regurgitation, without openheartsurgery.
Delivered through a vein in the leg, TriClip's TEER technology works by clipping together a portion of the leaflets – or flaps of tissue – to repair the tricuspid valve and help blood flow in the right direction without the need for open-heartsurgery.
Focusing on mitral and tricuspid valve diseases , Capstans treatment combines transcatheter implantation of a folded valve replacement with its X-ray and ultrasound-guided robot to align the low-profile implant with the beating heartvalve.
Known as an alternative to openheartsurgery, minimally invasive surgery is preferred by many patients. It involves tiny incisions that allow a surgeon to access the heart between the rib bones. Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER): TEER focuses on the mitral valve.
TEE is very useful in picking up small clots and infective material on heartvalves. This helps in treatment of potentially life threatening diseases like infection of the heartvalves. It can detect defects in the wall between the upper chambers of the heart known as ASD very well.
The Medtronic Evolut TAVR platform includes devices less invasive than traditional open-heartsurgery for the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. “At At Medtronic, we continue to emphasize that valve design matters. mmHg TAVR; 11.8
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of its TriClip, a first-of-its-kind device to repair leaky tricuspid heartvalve, for which more than 1.6 Abbott has announced U.S million people in the U.S. are estimated to be affected. Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy. 10.21037/cdt.2019.09.11. 2019.09.11.
Barr’s death at 39 from sudden cardiac arrest was caused by mitral valve prolapse—a heartvalve defect that can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood. In the past, heart surgeons corrected a faulty mitral valve by replacing it with an artificial one during open-heartsurgery.
About Aortic Stenosis Aortic valve stenosis - or aortic stenosis - is a type of heartvalve disease (valvular heart disease). The valve between the lower left heart chamber and the body's main artery (aorta) is narrowed and doesn't open fully.
Traditionally, cardiothoracic surgeons have repaired or replaced the tricuspid valve during open-heartsurgery and only when absolutely necessary; such surgeries are complex and risky. Catheter-based procedures offer an alternative for patients who are not candidates for open-heartsurgery.
Abnormal Heart Murmurs: These are more concerning and can be linked to underlying heart conditions, such as heartvalve disease or congenital heart defects. Abnormal murmurs may indicate problems like narrowed heartvalves, leaky heartvalves, or valvular heart disease.
