Abstract Purpose of Review New transcatheter techniques to perform tricuspid annuloplasty are evolving and are introduced into the clinical routine. Yet, clinical experience is limited. Recent Findings Currently, 3 different techniques for tricuspid annuloplasty have been used in larger clinical cohorts. They can be divided into direct annuloplasty techniques and suture plication techniques. The largest clinical evidence is related to direct annuloplasty techniques. It has been shown that annular dimensions can be effectively reduced. This translates into an improvement of the degree of tricuspid regurgitation and improvement of clinical symptoms. Due to the newness of this type of therapy, long-term data is limited, but for one of the described techniques, published data show that the positive effects persist over a 2-year period. Summary Transcatheter approaches are safe and are able to treat tricuspid regurgitation effectively. There are still differences in the efficacy of the different techniques. Clinical experience varies among the different approaches.

Abstract OBJECTIVES 3-Dimensional (3D)-shaped rings are largely adopted for tricuspid annuloplasty, but evidence about their long-term results is scanty. The goal of this study was to analyse the long-term results of tricuspid annuloplasty with 3D-shaped rings. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of our prospectively maintained database was carried out to identify all patients who underwent tricuspid valve repair with 3D-shaped rings between January 2011 and December 2014. Kaplan–Meier methods were used to analyse long-term survival. Cumulative incidence function using death as the competitive outcome was used to estimate cardiac death. RESULTS A total of 168 patients were identified. The median age was 66 years. Eighty-two patients (49%) were in advanced New York Heart Association functional class III–IV. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was present in 101 (60%); the median ejection fraction was 60%. In 82 (49%) patients, a Medtronic 3D Contour annuloplasty ring was employed; in the remaining 86 (51%) patients, an Edwards MC3 ring was used. Cumulative incidence function of cardiac death, with non-cardiac death as a competing risk, was 1.9 ± 1.1%, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.51–4.95) at 7 years. The cumulative incidence function of recurrence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) ≥2+ at 7 years was 14 ± 3.17%, 95% CI (8.49–20.82). Recurrence of TR ≥2+ at 7 years was not significantly different between the Medtronic 3D Contour and the Edwards MC3 rings (P = 0.3). AF was identified as the only independent predictor of recurrence of TR ≥2+. CONCLUSIONS 3D-shaped rings are effective and durable. TR recurrence was relatively low at 7 years and usually moderate (2+/4+) without a significant difference between the 2 types of rings. The role of AF as a predictor of TR recurrence was confirmed.
