Brief Summary
The purpose of this investigation is to see if the TRICENTO Valved Stent Graft implant reduces tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and improves the symptoms and quality of life in 15 participants with carcinoid heart disease, and who are not able to have a new valve via a surgical procedure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The number of patients with successful implantation of the TRICENTO bioprosthesis
with a 35% change (reduction) in the V wave pressure in the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)
measured pre intervention and immediately after the intervention
Secondary Outcomes (7)
To assess the safety of the Tricuspid Valved Stent Graft implantation procedure in patients with carcinoid heart disease with severe symptomatic TR and significant systolic backflow in the hepatic and caval veins, and who are not suitable for surgery.
At baseline, 1 month and 6 months
•To evaluate the reduced symptom burden according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) score
At baseline, and post intervention at 1 month and 6 months
To evaluate the change in peripheral oedema experienced by patients
At baseline, 1 month and 6 months
To evaluate the change in of number of admissions to hospital for heart failure
6 months before procedure and 6 months post implantation.
To evaluate the change in patient reported quality of life (EuroQol- 5 Dimension - EQ5D)
At baseline, and post intervention at 1 month and 6 months
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Transcatheter Tricuspid Valved Stent Graft intervention
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who have carcinoid heart disease with severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation and with a significant backflow in the caval and hepatic veins will be treated with the implantation of the Transcatheter Tricuspid Valved Stent Graft
Interventions
All participants meeting the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled. A custom-made Transcatheter Tricuspid Valved Stent Graft based on CT to define anatomic dimensions will be made. The system consists of a custom-made valved stent graft delivery system, a custom-made valved stent graft bioprosthesis and a loading system. The bioprosthesis is self-expanding and consists of a stent graft spanning from the inferior vena cava to the superior vena cava and a lateral bicuspid valve element made of thin porcine pericardial leaflets requiring a low closing pressure, and Nitinol support structures. The participants will undergo a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure to implant the bioprosthesis which is delivered through a 24 French delivery system via transfemoral access. The device can be repositioned and is retrievable.
