In the last decade, the management of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has significantly changed owing to the emergence of novel interventional treatment approaches that have allowed safe and effective treatment of TR. While retrospective studies suggested a survival benefit of interventional TR treatment as compared to patients treated conservatively12, the first randomised clinical trial that compared tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) to optimal medical treatment, the TRILUMINATE Pivotal Trial, showed no differences at 1 year with regards to mortality or heart failure hospitalisation, albeit meeting its primary endpoint3. A possible explanation for this discrepancy might be attributable to a change in the characteristics of patients who are referred for T-TEER therapy nowadays, as compared to initial treatment experiences. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the characteristics of patients referred for T-TEER and investigate their influence on outcomes.

Patients from the European Registry of Transcatheter Repair for Tricuspid Regurgitation (EuroTR) who underwent interventional therapy for symptomatic TR from 2016 until 2022 at 12 European study sites (Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, France, and Sweden) were...
