OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term (>= 2 years) outcomes following transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) with the FORMA Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair System (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California). BACKGROUND Scarce data exist on long-term outcomes following TTVr. METHODS This multicenter experience included patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who underwent TTVr with the FORMA system at 4 centers under a compassionate clinical use program. Data were collected at baseline, 30 days, and 1 year, and yearly thereafter. RESULTS Nineteen patients (76 +/- 9 years of age, 74% women, mean EuroSCORE II [European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation] 9.2 +/- 5.6%) with functional TR were included. Procedural success was achieved in 17 (89%) patients and there were no cases of 30-day mortality. At a median follow-up of 32 (interquartile range: 24 to 36) months, 4 (24%) patients had died (3 from terminal heart failure, 1 from sepsis) and 3 (18%) patients required rehospitalization for heart failure. There was 1 device-related thrombosis and 1 pulmonary embolism, both in the setting of subtherapeutic oral anticoagulation. Less than severe TR was observed at echocardiography in 67% of patients at the 2- to 3-year follow-up. Among 15 successfully implanted patients with at least 24-month follow-up, significant improvements in New York Heart Association functional class (p < 0.001), 6-min walk test (+54 m; p = 0.016) and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score (+16 points; p = 0.016) were observed, compared with baseline. CONCLUSIONS TTVr using the FORMA system showed favorable long-term safety profile in high-surgical-risk patients, with sustained functional improvement and acceptable TR reduction up to 3 years.
