A less invasive heart valve fix shows strong early results for older high-risk patients

A national study led by investigators from Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University found that transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement, or TTVR, delivered strong early results in real-world practice. Patients treated with TTVR experienced near elimination of tricuspid regurgitation, low rates of stroke, and meaningful improvements in symptoms and quality of life within 30 days.
