Combined Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Repair with Edge to Edge Technique

The Patient
• Elderly female (88), NYHA III dyspnea, active with daily activities
• Severe mitral regurgitation (ERO 43mm 2 , R VOL 60ml)
• Annular dilatation, degenerative leaflet changes, some hypermobility
• Severe tricuspid regurgitation (ERO 80mm 2
•Functional with annular dilatation
•LVEF 60%, non dilated
•Coronaries, 60% mid LAD, conservative Rx
•Pacemaker (6/2019), atrial fibrillation, arthritis, hypertension
•STS for mortality 5.76%
•HEART Team decision for transcatheter intervention, both mitral and tricuspid
