Abstract
The efficacy of transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair (TTVR) has been recently demonstrated not only for the reduction of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) but also in terms of right ventricular remodeling. We report the case of a 78-year-old female patient with a history of atrial fibrillation and severe isolated TR in New York Heart Association functional classification III despite optimal medical therapy. These case images help to illustrate immediate and considerable right ventricular reshaping due to successful TTVR with a sustained result at 6 months in isolated primary TR.Entities:
