Trial to Evaluate Treatment With Abbott Transcatheter Clip Repair System in Patients With Moderate or Greater Tricuspid Regurgitation (TRILUMINATE)
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the Tricuspid Valve Repair System (TVRS) for treating symptomatic moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients currently on medical management and who are deemed appropriate for percutaneous transcatheter intervention.
• Subject must be ≥18 years and ≤ 90 years at time of consent and must not be a member of a vulnerable population.
• Subject or a legally authorized representative (where allowed per local regulations) must provide written informed consent prior to any trial related procedure.
• Subject must agree not to participate in any other clinical trial for a period of one year following the index procedure.
• In the judgment of the investigator at the site, the subject has been adequately treated per applicable standards, including for coronary artery disease, mitral regurgitation and heart failure at least 30-days prior to index procedure. The Eligibility Committee must concur that the subject has been adequately treated.
• New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class II (conditional), III, or ambulatory IV
∙ Subjects with moderate TR: Only NYHA Class III or IV may be considered
‣ Subjects with severe or greater TR: NYHA II, III, or IV may be considered for inclusion
• No indication for left-sided or pulmonary valve correction.
• The Site Heart Team concur the benefit-risk analysis supports intervention for tricuspid regurgitation per current guidelines for the management of Valvular heart disease and that the subject is at high risk for tricuspid valve surgery.
• In the judgement of the TVRS implanting investigator, femoral vein access is determined to be feasible and can accommodate a 25 Fr catheter.
• Echocardiographic Inclusion Criteria:
• Moderate or greater (≥2+) Tricuspid Regurgitation determined by the assessment of a qualifying transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) confirmed by the Echocardiography Core Lab (ECL).
⁃ Tricuspid valve anatomy determined to be suitable for implantation determined by the site heart team.
⁃ Tricuspid valve anatomy evaluable by TTE and TEE.
