EDGE-TO-EDGE REPAIR (TEER)
TriClip™ Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) offers a minimally invasive
treatment option for patients with symptomatic, severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR)
who are at high risk for surgery.1
A STATE-OF-THE-ART TREATMENT OPTION FOR PATIENTS AT HIGH RISK FOR SURGERY
TriClip TEER is a low-risk,11 non-surgical treatment option for improving quality of life and functional status in patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation, despite optimal medical therapy, who are at intermediate or greater risk for surgery and in whom transcatheter edge-to-edge valve repair is clinically appropriate and is expected to reduce tricuspid regurgitation severity to moderate or less, as determined by a multidisciplinary heart team.2
TriClip™ Patient Story: Cruz

TriClip™ Patient Story: Javier
- Transcatheter beating heart procedure - no cardiopulmonary bypass
- Allows for real-time positioning and repositioning to optimize TR reduction
- Femoral venous access
- Can be used in a standard cath lab or hybrid room
- No pre-procedural CT required
- Fast recovery times; many patients go home the next day8

- Shortness of breath
- Peripheral edema
- Ascites
- Fatigue
- Declining exercise capacity
For many patients with Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation (FTR), medical management is not enough.
MEDICAL THERAPY FOR TR HAS LITTLE IMPACT ON TR REDUCTION – 2 YEAR DATA6

66%
of patients with severe functional tricuspid regurgitation die within 5 years of medical management13
Most patients receive medical management until right heart failure or end-organ dysfunction appears.14
Surgery for TR is seldom performed. Factors prohibiting surgery include:
- Limited clinical evidence15
- Multiple comorbidities15
- Advanced age15
- High rate of adverse events17,18
