German Registry for Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Interventions
German Registry for Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Interventions
Multicentre observational study of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and
 interventional treatment.
Severe tricuspid regurgitation occurs in around 1.5 % of men and 5.6 % of women and it is
 associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Current guidelines recommend cardiac
 surgery, especially in those patients who are undergoing left side valve surgery.
 Nevertheless many patients are not eligible for surgical tricuspid valve repair due to an
 high risk of mortality. Therefore interventional devices for treatment of tricuspid
 regurgitation have been established to offer these patients an alternative treatment option.
 The aim of this study is to analyse the success and saftey aspects of different
 interventional repair techniques for severe tricuspid regurgitation. Therefore in this
 prospectively designed observational study clinical, echocardiographic and laboratory
 parameters will be collected.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Interventional treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation (isolated or in combination
 with another interventional treatment) with a CE certified product for tricuspid valve
 repair

 -  Informed consent corresponding to criteria of Good Clinical Practice and the
 decleration of Helsinki as well as to standards of the local ethic commission.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  No agreement to participation

 -  Age < 18 years
