Table 2: Ideal and complicating factors for TriClip intervention.

Approach Optimal conditions Complicating factors
TriClip (edge-to-edge repair)
  • Coaptation defect <7 mm

  • Adequate leaflet mobility

  • Anteroseptal jet location

  • Confined leaflet prolapse or flail leaflet

  • RV lead with no primary leaflet obstruction

  • Gap size >8.5 mm

  • Thick and/or short leaflets

  • Perforated leaflet

  • Difficult echocardiographic visualization

  • CIED RV lead leaflet impingement

  • Anteroposterior jet location

  • Severe leaflet tethering

CIED = cardiovascular implantable electronic device; RV = right ventricle.
