Valvular disease is the most prevalent structural heart disease among adults and its burden is growing along with the increase in life expectancy.1 Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most frequent valvular disease, after aortic stenosis. Its natural history is very variable and highly dependent on the presence of symptoms. However, even in asymptomatic patients, the prognosis of severe MR is…

Moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is estimated to affect more than 1.6 million people in the US. However, fewer than 8,000 tricuspid valve operations are performed each year.1,2 There is clearly an unmet need for a tricuspid valve (TV) intervention. There has been rapid development in the field of transcatheter aortic and mitral valve interventions and percutaneous management of…
