Active clinical trials for "Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency"

Currently, in cardiology/cardiosurgery the indicators for the surgical correction of secondary tricuspid regurgitationare unclear. AIM: To compare right ventricle structural and functional changes after operation in patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation with severe mitral /aortic valve pathology, requiring surgical intervention; define the factors influencing major adverse cardiac events depending on the operation/non-operation due to moderate tricuspid regurgitation. This study intends to include 200-300 people and will occur over 5 years with an additional 3-year follow-up.

The field of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is rapidly emerging and data on this topic are scarce. Particularly, little is known about which patients are at greatest risk of procedural complications, such as the timing and onset of conduction disturbances necessitating permanent pacemaker implantation, and how such patients are managed. On this background, the TRIPLACE Registry - an investigator-initiated global multicenter registry - is aimed at better understanding the safety and efficacy of orthotopic TTVR.

The tricuspid valve : its evaluation is relatively difficult in echocardiography and the management of tricuspid valve diseases remains poorly codified.

This study is a prospective observational chart review. The aim of the study is to evaluate tricuspid regurgitation volume using 3D volumetric assessment as an accurate method for tricuspid regurgitation severity in comparison to VCA.

The present study evaluates patients after interventional therapy of valvular diseases of the right heart. Follow-up examinations include medical history taking, laboratory measurements and an echo. The aim is to assess the different interventional therapies and their impact on patient's outcome.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is frequent and has been directly related to high mortality rates. The pathophysiology of TR is mainly functional as it occurs predominantly in the context of left-sided heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, or atrial fibrillation. Surgery is currently the primary treatment option in patients with functional TR. However, isolated tricuspid valve surgery is associated with an intolerable high risk of operative mortality and poor outcomes. New transcatheter options could be used in high-surgical risk patients. However, with often severely dilated annuli with a non-planar and elliptical shape, absence of calcification, and proximity of structures, the tricuspid valve anatomy poses many challenges. Predictors of outcome are yet to be defined in patients with TR in order to improve risk prediction for the different treatment modalities (medical, surgical, interventional). The Tricuspid Regurgitation Hamburg Cohort (TRUTH) aims to monitor patients with relevant TR, irrespective of the underlying etiology or therapeutic approach. In addition to available evidence from previously published clinical trials, elaborate prospective clinical registries, such as TRUTH, that monitor clinical routine and current practice, will be of significant importance to further enhance therapeutic options.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is the second most common VHD after MR. Its prevalence also increases with age, with an estimated incidence of up to 6% in elderly population. When adjusted to age (among other confounders), survival is worse for patients with moderate and severe TR. We aim to explore the prevalence, mechanisms, and clinical implications of tricuspid valve regurgitation in elderly subjects screened at a tertiary center in Cairo, Egypt.

This is an observational, multi-center, retrospective and prospective study collecting data about patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions in a real world clinical environment. The aim is to report clinical characteristics, procedural results and short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions in Italian centres.

Prospective, single-center observational registry including all consecutive patients treated with transcatheter mitral or tricuspid valve therapy at the Deutsches Herzzentrum München, Germany.

Purpose Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) has been shown to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in several clinical conditions, including heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction as well as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We have designed a study aiming at: characterizing the echocardiographic morphology of the tricuspid valve apparatus and the pathophysiology of FTR in heart failure with reduced, mid-range or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF, HFmrEF, HFpEF) and in PAH patients; correlating the morphologic characteristics of tricuspid valve apparatus with hemodynamic severity of FTR; correlating the severity of FTR with the clinical condition and outcome. Methods The study will be a non-interventional, prospective, international, multicenter, longitudinal study. The minimum number of patients which are expected to be enrolled is 300 HF patients, including HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF patients, whereas 100 PAH patients will serve as control. The patients will be enrolled in 20 centers in Europe, North America and Saudi Arabia. The echocardiographic parameters will be analyzed by the local investigators; a quality control committee will evaluate all data entered in the database to identify potential outliers and a random sample of 10% of cases will be blindly re-analysed in a central core-lab. Conclusions This study has been designed to improve our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical relevance of FTR across all HF phenotypes. The results could potentially allow a more appropriate selection of heart failure patients with FTR for tricuspid valve intervention by percutaneous or surgical repair or replacement.
