Who Knew the Tricuspid Valve Would Be So Interesting? - 2021 Quality Summit presentation (Non-CE)-Who Knew the Tricuspid Valve Would Be So Interesting?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Brian O'Neill, a board certified interventional cardiologist, discusses tricuspid valve disease and tricuspid care in the transcatheter world. He starts by explaining the anatomy of the tricuspid valve, which is composed of three leaflets but can vary from person to person. He also mentions the complexity of tricuspid valve anatomy compared to other valves. Dr. O'Neill then breaks down tricuspid regurgitation into three categories: primary, secondary or functional, and isolated. He provides examples and details on each type. He highlights the impact of tricuspid regurgitation on patients undergoing transcatheter therapies for other heart conditions such as aortic and mitral valve interventions. Dr. O'Neill explains the available percutaneous therapies for tricuspid valve disease, including leaflet coaptation devices like the MitraClip and PASCAL, ring anuloplasty devices like the CardioBand, valve replacements like the Evoke device, and heterotopic placement of valves like the cable valve implantation. He shares data and outcomes from various studies and concludes that tricuspid regurgitation is a significant issue that should not be ignored. He emphasizes the importance of referring patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation to valve centers and highlights the need for continued research and data collection in the field. The video is a recording of a presentation by Dr. O'Neill and there are no specific credits mentioned.
