The procedure was performed in three patients on Feb. 18. All three have tolerated the procedure well and have since experienced “elimination of their tricuspid regurgitation,” according to a Feb. 25 news release from WVU Medicine.
Ramesh Daggubati, MD, chief of interventional cardiology, and Vinay Badhwar, MD, executive chair, and chair of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, performed the procedures with imaging assistance from Daniel Guzman, MD.
The physicians used the Evoque tricuspid valve replacement system for the procedures, the release said.
