ABSTRACT

Tricuspid valve pathologies, particularly tricuspid regurgitation (TR), are increasingly recognized as independent contributors to mortality. While surgical treatment remains a secondary option, interventional procedures have emerged as promising alternatives. The Cardioband device demonstrated significant improvements in NYHA class and echocardiographic parameters, with sustained benefits over 2 years. The Pascal system showed a 90% procedural success rate and improved clinical outcomes at 1 year. The Triclip device, assessed in the TRILUMINATE study, resulted in sustained clinical and echocardiographic improvements over 3 years, with minimal device-related complications. The Evoque system showed promising safety and efficacy in high-risk patients, with significant functional and echocardiographic improvements at 1 year. Interventional procedures for TR are safe and effective, offering substantial clinical and echocardiographic benefits. However, most devices lack randomized controlled trial data, limiting definitive conclusions. The ongoing randomized evaluation of the Triclip device may provide robust evidence to guide future clinical practice. Further research is essential to establish the long-term efficacy and safety of these innovative treatments.
