Therapeutic options for patients with isolated severe to torrential tricuspid regurgitation have been limited. Because a surgical option is often not attractive, new catheter-based therapies are emerging. We report the first-in-human percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with the MonarQ system in a 75-year-old female patient with severely symptomatic torrential tricuspid regurgitation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
