Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult males and females aged 20 years or above
  • Patients with clinical symptoms (Symptomatic) whose degree of tricuspid regurgitation using echocardiography meets the criteria of Severe or higher presented in the TR grade classification table
  • Short-term treatment using a catheter is required (expected to be effective) by a local site heart team including at least one cardiothoracic (cardiovascular) specialist and at least one thoracic surgeon each, and clinical symptoms of Class Ⅱ or higher person who falls under
  • In the screening test, A person who can confirm the possibility of reducing tricuspid valve regurgitation by inserting that 'Pivot Balloon' (Clinical Trial Approval No. 1327), etc.) through the same access path as the 'Pivot Bridge', a clinical trial medical device
  • An individual who voluntarily agreed to the participation in the clinical trial and signed the written consent
  • An individual who is able to understand and comply with the instructions and who can participate in the period before the clinical trial

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
  • A recent formation of soft blood clot or embolic material
  • Uncorrected coagulopathy
  • Prohibition of anticoagulant agents
  • Those who had experience with anticoagulant use prior to participation in this clinical trial and who were treated with major bleeding (minor bleeding such as nosebleeds that can be hemostasis not applicable) due to anticoagulant use at this time or accompanied by severe anemia requiring hospitalization one with experience
  • Previous insertion of a device such as an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or a pacemaker
  • Those who is judged to have little possibility of reducing tricuspid valve regurgitation by inserting a balloon-type device (e.g. ASD sizing balloon, pivot balloon, etc.) through the same access route as the clinical trial medical device 'Pivot Bridge'
  • Persons with an anatomical structure that cannot be inserted through the corresponding route
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2023 to primary completion in Oct 2023, 7 months.

Of 55 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 27 and three quarters within 70. This study's 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 86 studies reached it within 38 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 58.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 8, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
