The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and performance of the Trialign System for the treatment of symptomatic chronic functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) in patients with a minimum of moderate tricuspid regurgitation.
The procedure will be performed with the PTVAS device using a non-surgical percutaneous approach to tricuspid valve repair in patients who have FTR with a minimum of moderate tricuspid regurgitation.

Experimental: Open Label
Non-randomized, open label clinical study that intends to treat up to 60 subjects with the Mitralign Percutaneous Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty System (PTVAS) using standard of care techniques and services that are typically used for structural heart procedures.

Device: Mitralign Percutaneous Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty System (PTVAS)
Mitralign Percutaneous Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty System (PTVAS) is delivered by a percutaneous transcatheter procedure. The Trialign PTVAS procedure utilizes catheters and wires to deliver up to two sets of pledgeted sutures across the tricuspid annulus near the septal/posterior and the posterior/anterior commissures. Each set of implants is pulled together to plicate the posterior tricuspid annulus. |
