The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and device performance of the Edwards Tricuspid Transcatheter Repair System in patients with clinically significant, symptomatic, tricuspid regurgitation who are at high surgical risk for standard tricuspid repair/replacement.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and device performance of the Edwards Tricuspid Transcatheter Repair System in patients with clinically significant, symptomatic, tricuspid regurgitation who are at high surgical risk for standard tricuspid repair/replacement. The study is a multi-center, international, prospective, single arm, safety study. Enrolled subjects will be assessed for clinical follow-up at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and annually for 3 years post implant procedure.

Exclusion Criteria
Tricuspid valve/right heart anatomy not suitable for the study device:
Edwards (EW) Tricuspid Transcatheter Repair System
Device: EW Tricuspid Transcatheter Repair System
Treatment with the EW Tricuspid Transcatheter Repair System
All-cause Mortality
The primary endpoint for the study will assess the all-cause mortality of the as treated cohort at 30 days compared to a literature derived Performance Goal based on high-risk surgical outcomes for tricuspid repair/replacement. Due to the early termination of the study, the desired statistical power was not attained and thus this comparison analysis was not performed. All-cause mortality is presented below as a number of deaths and percentage of patients only.
Time frame: At 30 days.
Technical Success
Alive, with * Successful access, delivery and removal of the delivery systems, and * Deployment and correct positioning of the intended device, and * No need for additional emergency surgery or re-intervention related to the device or access procedure
Time frame: Implant Procedure
Device Success
Alive, with * Original intended device in place, and * No additional surgical or interventional procedures related to the device, and * Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) reduction compared to baseline and Tricuspid Valve (TV) gradient ≤ 5 mmHg
Time frame: At 1 month, 6 months, 1, 2, and 3 years
Procedural Success
Device Success, and None of the following device or procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAE): * Life threatening bleeding * Major vascular or cardiac structural complications requiring intervention * Pericardial effusion requiring drainage or surgery (includes tamponade) * Stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury (includes new dialysis). * Severe heart failure or hypotension requiring Intravenous (IV) inotrope, ultrafiltration or mechanical circulatory support * Prolonged intubation \> 48 hours

Clinical Outcomes [Change in Quality of Life Short Form (SF)-12 Questionnaire]
Change in Quality of Life as assessed by the Short Form (SF)-12 questionnaire compared to baseline The SF-12 is a short survey with 12 questions that results in two scales of mental and physical functioning and overall health related quality of life. The SF-12 Score is scaled from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.
Time frame: At 1 month, 6 months, 1, 2 and 3 years
Clinical Outcomes [Change in Quality of Life Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)]
Change in Quality of Life as assessed by the KCCQ questionnaire compared to baseline The KCCQ is a 12-item questionnaire that quantifies physical limitations, symptoms, self-sufficiency, social interaction and quality of life. The KCCQ scale is 0-100. An increase in the KCCQ-12 score reflects an improvement in symptoms for the subject. A mean difference over time of 5 points on the KCCQ-12 summary score reflects a clinically significant change in heart failure status.

Ran from Sep 2016 to primary completion in Jan 2018, 16 months.
Results were first posted in Oct 2022, 4 years 8 months after primary completion.
Of 54 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency, half reached primary completion within 38 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 70. This study's 16 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 83 studies reached it within 38 months; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 58.
