TRILUMINATE Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new way to treat people who have a heart valve problem called tricuspid regurgitation. The new method is minimally invasive and done by threading a device through the person's veins.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-90 with moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), who are symptomatic and have been deemed high-risk for surgery by a heart team. They must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy within a year, or involved in another clinical trial. Candidates should have stable blood pressure without recent heart attacks, strokes, or infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of the Tricuspid Valve Repair System (TVRS) in treating patients with moderate to severe TR who are on medical management but appropriate for transcatheter intervention—a non-surgical procedure involving catheters.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include bleeding due to antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy required post-procedure, risks associated with catheter insertion such as vascular complications, infection risk from device implantation, and possible adverse reactions to the device materials.
