Research recommendations coming out of this guidance
-
For people with severe and symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation, evidence on the efficacy of transcatheter tricuspid valve leaflet repair is limited in quantity and quality. Evidence on its safety shows there are serious but well-recognised complications. Therefore, for these people, this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. Find out what special arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
-
For people with mild or moderate tricuspid regurgitation, evidence on the safety and efficacy of transcatheter tricuspid valve leaflet repair is inadequate in quantity and quality. Therefore, for these people, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
