Problem
Tricuspid regurgitation, where the tricuspid valve fails to close properly, affects millions in the U.S. Many patients with tricuspid regurgitation are unsuitable for surgical intervention due to the high risks associated with the procedure, leaving a significant unmet clinical need.
Solution
Trisol Medical is developing a transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) designed to eliminate tricuspid regurgitation while preserving right ventricle function. The Trisol valve is designed for ease of implantation and intuitive delivery. The valve's unique design aims to provide a comprehensive solution for patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation, including those with leaflet tethering. The fully percutaneous procedure is intended to provide a less invasive option for patients who are not candidates for open-heart surgery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation who are not suitable candidates for traditional surgical valve replacement, and the cardiologists who treat them.
