Overview
Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains an under-recognised and under-treated condition, stressing the importance of timely identification and referral to improve clinical outcomes.
In this interactive session, Prof Marianna Adamo (University of Brescia, Brescia, IT) and Prof Volker Rudolph (Heart and Diabetes Center NRW, Bad Oeynhausen, DE) moderate an expert faculty of Prof Marta Sitges (University of Barcelona, Barcelona, ES), Dr Sam Dawkins (Oxford University Hospitals, Oxford, UK), and Dr Ali Vazir (Royal Brompton Hospital, London, UK).
Together, they will review the latest recommendations on TR identification, discuss evidence-based referral practices, and share the patient pathway for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR).
Through case-based discussions and expert insights, the faculty will explore real-world patient profiles – from early-stage to advanced disease – and outline best practices across the full patient journey.
Attendees will learn to apply the latest recommendations for classification and assessment, use emerging evidence to guide referral decisions across the stages of TR, and understand the patient pathway with TTVR – from diagnosis and referral to heart team decision, intervention and follow-up care.
