“…- Annuloplasty devices: There is a wide spectrum of annuloplasty devices under pre-clinical and clinical development, that could be categorized as ring-based direct annuloplasty systems (Cardioband [Edwards Lifescience, Irvine, California], Millipede IRIS [Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts], DaVingi [Cardiac Implants, Tarrytown, New York]), ring-based indirect annuloplasty systems (transatrial intrapericardial tricuspid annuloplasty [Health and Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana]), or direct suture systems (Trialign [Mitralign, Tewksbury, Massachusetts], Tricinch [4Tech Cardio, Galway, Ireland], minimally invasive annuloplasty technology [Micro Interventional Devices, Newtown, Pennsylvania], pledget-assisted suture tricuspid annuloplasty). The Cardioband device was evaluated in the TrIcuspid Regurgitation RePAIr With CaRdioband Transcatheter System (TRIREPAIR) trial and, after the positive results obtained in terms of both procedural success and 6 months follow-up, it received the conformité européenne (CE) mark in the 2019 ( 15 ). Although the device was successfully implanted in all patients, 28% of the patients had at least severe or torrential TR (mean vena contracta of 9 mm) at follow-up, despite an overall reduction in the septo-lateral dimensions of 3.8 mm.…”
