Apollo Hospitals does the First TricValve Implant Today

In one of a case of long standing TR, TricValve - Transcatheter Bicaval Valves System was implanted today at Apollo Hospitals, Film Nagar, Hyderabad.

A middle aged male patient with long standing low pressure TR secondary to infective endocarditis that persisted for the last two decades was admitted to this Hospital with severe ascites, anasarca, breathing difficulty. He went into early stage liver cirrhosis, developed SBP and was hospitalised for two months.

Grossly dilated RA, RV & early stage of Cardiac Cirrhosis has rendered the patient unsuitable for open surgical therapy. The Heart team of the Hospital after careful evaluation of the patient's condition, decided to correct his TR vide transcatheter therapy.

TricValve, Transcatheter Bicaval Valves were implanted on Sept. 07, 2021.

In all those patients with relevant tricuspid insufficiency who are otherwise not suitable for surgical treatment, CAVI with TricValve seems to be the best option as on date. Patients in whom TricValve has been deployed, tremendous improvement was seen in their 6MWT, QOL score - KCCQ, improvement in NYHA Class, reduction in weight and various other clinical & laboratory parameters (TRICUS I study).
