Conditions

Tricuspid Regurgitation

Brief summary

Tricuspid regurgitation is common in patients with heart valve disease, both flexible band and rigid ring annuloplasty can correct this anomaly. However, there is no data to address which one can bring more benefits to these patients with combined heart valve disease. This study aims to prospectively compare the efficacy and long term outcomes of flexible band versus rigid ring annuloplasty for the correction of tricuspid regurgitation.

Subject or a legally authorized representative (where allowed per local regulations) must provide written informed consent prior to any trial related procedure. * 3\. Subjects with tricuspid regurgitation determined by the assessment of a qualifying transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and/or transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE).

Exclusion criteria

* 1\. Patient unable or unwilling to provide informed consent; * 2\. Subjects with mild tricuspid regurgitation; * 3\. Emergency surgery; * 4\.
