Study Arms (1)
TricValve® System Single-Arm
EXPERIMENTALMinimally invasive catheter-supported, bicaval tricuspid valve (self-expanding) replacement
Interventions
The TricValve® Delivery System is inserted from the femoral vein to access the inferior vena cava (IVC) and superior vena cava (SVC) of the heart under fluoroscopy guidance. The appropriately sized TricValve® is unsheathed at the implantation site and positions itself as per the anatomy - self expanding frame.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The subject must be 18 years of age or older
- The subject must be a patient with severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation demonstrated by echocardiography with significant backflow in the lower (IVC) and/or upper (SVC) vena cava and with a v-wave ≥ 25 mmHg as demonstrated by right heart catheterization (measured in the IVC and/or SVC 2-4 cm above/ below right atrium (RA) inflow) within 8 weeks prior to the implantation
- Suitable for TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valves System implantation according to anatomic criteria by computed tomography
- The subjects must have severe, tricuspid regurgitation leading to New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV
- The subject has left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40%
- Distance covert in 6-minute walk test (6MWT) ≥ 60m
- The patient shall be screened by a "Heart Team" - including an interventional cardiologist, cardiothoracic surgeon, and agreed as a candidate for the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valves System implantation
- Patient/authorized legal guardian understands the nature of the procedure, is willing to comply with associated follow-up evaluations, and provides written informed consent Patient/patient's authorized legal guardian is geographically stable (or willing to return for required study follow-up) and understands and is willing to fulfil all of the expected requirements of the clinical protocol
You may not qualify if:
- Known significant intracardiac shunt (e.g. ventricular septal defect) or congenital structural heart disease based on heart teams decision
- Requirement for other elective cardiac procedures e.g. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) up to 90 days after the procedure or 30 days before the procedure
- Right ventricular failure (TAPSE ≤13mmHg)
- Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure \> 65 mmHg as assessed by Doppler echocardiography
- Presence of any known life threatening (noncardiac major or progressive disease), non-cardiac disease that will limit the subject's life expectancy to less than one year
- Cerebro-vascular event within the past 3 months
- History of mitral/tricuspid endocarditis within the last 12 months
- Patient has untreated significant left sided valvular heart disease which requires treatment (e.g. mitral regurgitation or stenosis, and aortic regurgitation or stenosis)
- Documented primary coagulopathy or platelet disorder, including thrombocytopenia (absolute platelet count \<90k)
- Documented evidence of significant renal dysfunction (serum creatinine \> 3.0mg/dl) or on any form of dialysis at time of screening within the last 4 weeks
- Contraindication or known allergy to device's components, anti-coagulation therapy with vitamin K antagonists or contrast media that cannot be adequately premedicated
- Patients unsuitable for implantation because of thrombosis of the lower venous system or vena cava filter
- The patient has contraindication against a transesophageal echo (TEE) during the procedure
- Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) ≤ 1 month (30 days)
- Liver cirrhosis Child C (see appendix)
- +4 more criteria
