Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement
Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement is a catheter based minimally invasive procedure to replace the defective tricuspid valve without the need for open heart surgery.
The tricuspid valve is located between the heart’s right upper chamber (atrium) and lower chamber (ventricle). Its role is to make sure blood flows the correct way through the heart, from the right atrium down to the ventricle. The tricuspid valve has three leaflets, or flaps, that control blood flow and direction. In some people, this valve does not function correctly, and they are said to have tricuspid valve disease. The most common form of tricuspid valve disease is tricuspid stenosis, which means the valve leaflets are stiff and do not open all the way. Another form of valve disease is tricuspid regurgitation – where the leaflets that do not close all the way and blood leaks backwards across the valve instead of flowing into the ventricle.
