Pdf Summary

The document addresses the evaluation and treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) before transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI). It emphasizes optimizing treatment before intervention, highlighting the need for thorough assessment in patients with comorbidities. Various risk assessment tools and management strategies for conditions like heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and atrial fibrillation are discussed, along with the importance of accurate TR quantitation. The document also covers the complexities in diagnosing and treating TR, the potential benefits of TTVI procedures, and considerations for concomitant management of tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation. It references clinical guidelines, expert opinions, and ongoing research to provide a comprehensive overview of current strategies and future perspectives in managing severe TR.
