Abstract

This case report describes a patient diagnosed with severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and pulmonary hypertension. Initial improvement with heart failure therapy was followed by a worsening of TR despite optimal medical management. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair successfully addressed TR, resulting in marked clinical improvement.

Keywords: HFpEF; heart failure; optimal medical therapy; pulmonary hypertension; tricuspid regurgitation.
