A Complex Tricuspid Clip: Bridging the Decision (JACC: Case Reports July 2020)

A 22-year-old female with Turner's syndrome presented after cardiac arrest with severe right-sided heart failure and severe TR. MitraClip was utilized with TEE and ICE for a significant reduction in the TR that persisted at 30 days. We present the youngest patient to undergo treatment of severe TR with MitraClip.

  • Evaluate procedural success of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the tricuspid valve.
