Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Tricuspid Valve Repair (TEER)
Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) may be considered for severe tricuspid regurgitation with high surgical risk or for those whose anatomy is suitable for a clipping approach. The decision is based on the mechanism of regurgitation, leaflet morphology and clipping window, rig

How Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Tricuspid Valve Repair (TEER) is performed
This treatment involves inserting an edge-to-edge repair device through the venous route under image guidance, clipping the target leaflets to reduce regurgitation. General anesthesia or sedation is optional, and it is often performed with transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy for positioning. After clipping, the transvalvular pressure gradient and regurgitation are assessed, and additional devices are added if necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes the puncture site, heart rhythm, and hemodynamics, with optimization of volume and diuretics, with the goal of reducing reflux load. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
