Study Summary

This trial will test the safety and performance of a new device to treat tricuspid valve disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with chronic functional tricuspid regurgitation (moderate or greater) who still have symptoms despite medical treatment. Candidates should be deemed appropriate for the procedure by a Heart Team but cannot have unsuitable anatomy, primary valve disease, prior repairs or replacements, or conditions that may affect study participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Edwards Cardioband Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction System is being tested in this clinical study. It's a minimally invasive procedure designed to repair the heart's tricuspid valve without needing open-heart surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects might include bleeding, infection at the catheter insertion site, damage to the heart or blood vessels, irregular heartbeats, and possible need for additional procedures if initial reconstruction isn't successful.
