A new minimally invasive treatment for tricuspid regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation becomes increasingly common in those over 65, but corrective open-heart surgery is often considered too high-risk to perform in older patients. A new minimally invasive transcatheter approach is now available at our centre that enables us to target treatment directly to where it is needed and offer significant improvements to quality of life in patients where surgery is not possible.
