TR is more common in older people and research suggests that about 4% of people aged 75 years or over may have significant TR. Many people with significant TR cannot tolerate open heart surgery due to their age or other comorbidities. As a result, many people with significant TR have limited treatment options. Caval valve implantation is less invasive and may be an option when surgery is contraindicated, and other transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions are not suitable. It also has the potential of reducing symptoms and improving quality of life whilst having fewer side effects.
