Abstrakt: Aims: Our study aims to evaluate the acute remodelling of the tricuspid valve annulus immediately after the tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) by using intraprocedural transoesophageal 3D echocardiography.
Methods and Results: We prospectively enrolled 62 consecutive symptomatic patients with at least severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), who underwent T-TEER with the TriClip System between March 2021 and June 2024. The following parameters were assessed using a multiplanar reconstruction analysis performed off-line using a 3D data set: septal-lateral (SL) and antero-posterior (AP) annulus diameters; annulus area; annulus perimeter; and eccentricity index. The acute procedural success was achieved in 85.5%. We observed an acute reduction in SL (from a median of 43 to 38 mm, P < 0.0001), AP (from a median of 46 to 45 mm, P < 0.0001), area (from a median of 17.9 to 15.95 cm2, P < 0.0001), perimeter (from a median of 145.5 to 137 mm, P < 0.0001), and eccentricity index (from 0.92 to 0.87, P < 0.0001). The tricuspid valve (TV) annulus was progressively larger in patients with higher residual TR. Analysis of the subgroups according to procedural success showed an acute inverse remodelling of the TV annulus independent of the acute procedural success.
Conclusion: The TV geometry necessitates the use of 3D echocardiography for accurate assessment of annular remodelling post T-TEER. The reduction in TR grade and TV annulus dimensions begins immediately after TriClip implantation. Concurrently, the baseline TV geometry influences the procedural results.
