Brief Summary:
To establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Repair System in patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation who have been determined to be at an intermediate or greater estimated risk of mortality with tricuspid valve surgery by the cardiac surgeon with concurrence by the local Heart Team

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Tricuspid Regurgitation Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency Tricuspid Valve Disease Device: Edwards PASCAL System Drug: Optimal Medical Therapy Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
A Prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled pivotal trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System and optimal medical therapy (OMT) compared to OMT alone in patients with tricuspid regurgitation. Patients will be seen for follow-up visits at discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Eighteen (18) years of age or older
  • Despite medical therapy, per the local Heart Team, patient has signs of TR, symptoms from TR, or prior heart failure hospitalization from TR.
  • Severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-IVa or heart failure hospitalization in the prior 12 months
