Details and patient eligibility

About

The objective of the study is to generate safety and performance data for the 4Tech TriCinch Coil System in symptomatic patients suffering from significant functional tricuspid regurgitation with annular dilatation.

The TriCinch Coil System is a percutaneous catheter-based medical device for tricuspid valve repair.

Enrollment: 18 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Moderate to severe functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) defined as: TR severity 2+ to 4+ (according to semi-quantitative echocardiographic color flow doppler evaluation); and Annular diameter ≥ 40 mm confirmed by echocardiography
2. ≥ 18 years old
3. Subject has read and signed the informed consent prior to study related procedures.
4. Willing and able to comply with all required follow-up evaluations and assessments.
5. The 'Heart Team' assessment recommends TriCinch Coil Implantation
6. New York Heart Associate Classification ≥ II.
7. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≥ 30%.
8. Heart failure symptoms (such as fluid retention and severe oedema, liver stasis) despite on optimized medical therapy by the local heart team; at minimum subject on diuretic use
9. Subject has suitable anatomy for investigational device implantation as per imaging requirements

Exclusion criteria

1. Currently participating in another investigational drug or device study.
2. Subject with Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) > 60mmHg as measured by Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)

4. Moderate or Severe tricuspid valve stenosis (defined as a mean gradient ≥5 mmHg at normal heart rate)
5. Aortic, mitral and/or pulmonic valve stenosis and/or regurgitation more than or equal to moderate
6. Mitral valve stenosis and/or regurgitation more than moderate
7. Intra-cardiac thrombus, mass or vegetation requiring active treatment.
8. Implanted inferior vena cava (IVC) filter.
9. Prior tricuspid repair or tricuspid replacement
10. Known allergy to contrast media, silicone, PET, Co-Cr, stainless steel or nitinol that cannot be adequately pre-medicated
11. History of cardiac transplantation
12. Contraindication to Transthoracic/Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TTE/TOE).

24. Pregnant or lactating female of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test 24 hours before any study-related radiation exposure
25. Pulmonary embolism within the last 6 months
26. Tricuspid Valve Tethering distance > 10 mm
27. Presence of trans-tricuspid pacemaker or defibrillator leads which are determined as immobile or interfering with the procedure, as evaluated by echocardiography.
28. Contra-indicated for blood transfusion or refuses transfusion
29. Patient undergoing emergency treatment
30. Patient without appropriate venous access
