About this study

The study is a multi-center, prospective single arm study designed to evaluate the safety and performance of the TRiCares Topaz Tricuspid Valve Replacement System.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients
  • Tricuspid regurgitation grade 3 (severe) on a scale of 0 (none) to 5 (torrential)
  • Institutional Heart Team evaluates patient as being at increased operative risk

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient in need of emergent intervention
  • Patient who is hemodynamically unstable
  • Anatomical contraindications for implantation with study device
  • Patient who is currently participating in another clinical investigation where the primary endpoint was not reached yet

Treatment and study plan

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement

Device

Replacement of the tricuspid valve through a transcatheter approach

Other names: TRiCares Topaz Tricuspid Valve Replacement System

Primary outcomes

  1. Composite of MAE

    Time frame: 30 day post-intervention

    Composite rate of major adverse events (MAEs) at 30 days, including mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and major complications.

  2. Device Success

    Time frame: immediately post-intervention

    Device success defined as a reduction in tricuspid regurgitation immediately post-intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Six minute walk test

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 months, annual for five years post-intervention

    Change in distance (m) compared to baseline assessment

  2. Reduction in Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) Grade

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 months, annual for five years post-intervention

    Number of patients presenting with reduction in TR grade compared to baseline assessment

  3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Function Class

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 months, annual for five years post-intervention

    Number of patients presenting with improvement in NYHA classification
