Feasibility Study of the Transcatheter Valve Repair System for Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation.

Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a prevalent disease with limited treatment options.

Objectives: This is the first 30-day report of the U.S.

Early Feasibility Study of Cardioband Tricuspid System for Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: 30-Day Outcomes.

Objectives: The study reports for the first time the 30-day outcomes of the first U.S. study with the Cardioband tricuspid valve reconstruction system for the treatment of functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR).

Transcatheter Valve Repair for Patients With Mitral Regurgitation: 30-Day Results of the CLASP Study.

Objectives: The authors report the procedural and 30-day results of the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) enrolled in the multicenter, prospective, single-arm CLASP study.

Background: Severe MR may lead to symptoms, impaired quality of life, and reduced functional capacity when untreated.

Methods: Eligible patients had grade 3+ or 4+ MR despite optimal medical therapy and were deemed appropriate for the study by the local heart team.

6-Month Outcomes of Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction for Patients With Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation.

Background: Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates with limited treatment options.

Objectives: The authors report the 6-month safety and performance of a transcatheter tricuspid valve reconstruction system in the treatment of moderate to severe functional TR in 30 patients enrolled in the TRI-REPAIR (TrIcuspid Regurgitation RePAIr With CaRdioband Transcatheter System) study.

Methods: Between October 2016 and July 2017, 30 patients were enrolled in this single-arm, multicenter, prospective trial.

Apical pressure created during irrigation with the GentleWave™ system compared to conventional syringe irrigation.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare pressures at the apical foramen created by conventional syringe irrigation and the GentleWave™ System, which releases high-velocity degassed irrigants to the pulp chamber and uses broad-spectrum sound energy for cleaning.

Materials And Methods: The apical pressure generated during irrigation was measured for palatal and distobuccal root canals of four extracted maxillary molars after no instrumentation, minimal instrumentation to a size #15/.04, instrumentation to a size #40/.
