First-in-Man Experience of a Novel Transcatheter Repair System for Treating Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation

Isolated tricuspid valve surgery is associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with prior cardiac surgery. The transcatheter Forma Repair System (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) is designed to provide a surface for native leaflet coaptation to reduce tricuspid regurgitation (TR) by occupying the regurgitant orifice area.This study sought to evaluate the feasibility and exploratory efficacy with this...
