Each reviewed trial of transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention demonstrated clinically meaningful improvement in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)-defined quality of life and favorable right ventricular remodeling. KCCQ correlates with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) reduction, heart failure hospitalization, and mortality. Change in KCCQ is therefore meaningful both as a measure of quality of life and as a surrogate endpoint of the impact of TV interventions.

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement Following Tricuspid Edge-To-Edge-Repair.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

Department of Cardiology and Angiology, University Hospital Tübingen, Otfried-Müller-Straße 10, Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is seen as a relevant contributor of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is a novel technique to treat this condition. We present the case of an 82-year-old lady who was admitted for recurrent right heart decompensation despite having undergone treatment with tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER).

Article Synopsis
  • Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common issue after heart transplantation, and a new treatment called transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) has emerged, although it comes with risks.
  • A 46-year-old woman who underwent a heart transplant developed severe TR, had a TTVR procedure, but later suffered from cardiogenic shock and sudden cardiac death, linked to complications in the area of her heart's electrical conduction system.
  • This case highlights the dangers of TTVR in heart transplant patients, emphasizing the need for close monitoring due to the potential for serious heart rhythm issues like complete heart block.
