The trial’s own eligibility text, word for word from the registry. Only the trial site can say who takes part.
Inclusion
- +60 - 90 years of age at the time of the study procedure
- +Symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation despite being adequately treated with optimal medical therapy by the Local Heart Team for at least 30 days prior to the time of study consentInformed consentThe process of being told what taking part involves, then choosing freely.Read more →.
- +Severe, massive or torrential tricuspid regurgitation determined by qualifying transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and/or transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) using the 5-grade classification.
