Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) is Largely
Untreated Despite High Mortality Rates
Patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are rarely surgically treated1, are medically managed, and often experience debilitating symptoms. While the prevalence of TR and the associated mortality rates for severe TR are high2,3, limited treatment options exist.
The Edwards PASCAL transcatheter valve repair system adds to TMTT’s portfolio of TR treatment options and is designed to treat both mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, improving patient symptoms and quality of life using the same device.
An innovative system designed to address the complexity of tricuspid repair
Independent grasping for optimal placement while
respecting native anatomy
- Atraumatic clasps with a single row of retention elements designed for fragile leaflets
- Staged capture and capture optimization facilitate maximum leaflet insertion
Central spacer effectively bridges the coaptation gap
- Broad, contoured paddles increase coaptation area
- Spacer reduces leaflet stress and increases open orifice area
Safely navigate your procedure within the
subvalvular apparatus
- Implant elongation facilitates safe repositioning in dense tricuspid chordae
- Independent catheters allow for predictable implant positioning
