Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) negatively affects patient outcomes. Surgical tricuspid valve repair/replacement carries a high operative risk and is not a viable option for many high-risk patients. Percutaneous approaches provide an attractive alternative solution for such patients since they represent a valid alternative to open heart surgery without the significant risks carried by surgery. A number of percutaneous devices are currently under clinical development. This review will discuss about the latest development in the field of percutaneous tricuspid valve repair with possible future developments.
