Study arms

    Device: Transcatheter Annuloplasty

  • Other
    Guideline Directed Medical Therapy, GDMT

    Other: The guidelines guide medication

Interventions

  • DeviceTranscatheter Annuloplasty

    Under the guidance of ultrasound, the transcatheter tricuspid ring forming system accurately reaches the designated position of the tricuspid valve region through the jugular vein and superior vena cava approach. The expanded tricuspid ring tissue is clammed together with the clamping parts and anchor parts, and the circumference of the tricuspid ring is reduced, thus reducing the area of the opening of the tricuspid valve that cannot be closed originally, and achieving the purpose of minimally invasive treatment of tricuspid regurgitation.
