A 70-year-old man with severe tricuspid regurgitation and large coaptation gap (0.8 cm) was referred to transfemoral valve repair using the PASCAL system. The procedure was successful in reducing tricuspid regurgitation. The PASCAL device facilitated maximum leaflet insertion and to span large coaptation gap in severe tricuspid regurgitation without ventilation maneuvers under general anesthesia. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
