Pioneering a New Paradigm in Tricuspid Valve Intervention with Annular Repair.
K-Clip®It is a transcatheter tricuspid annuloplasty system independently developed by HuiHe Healthcare, and also the first approved interventional tricuspid device in China. Using minimally invasive interventional methods, it mimics the principles of classic surgical valve annuloplasty by folding and cinching the dilated tricuspid annulus to reduce its circumference, thereby increasing the coaptation of the leaflets and improving tricuspid regurgitation.

Patient Baseline
Patient, female, 65 years old, was found to have tricuspid regurgitation one year ago during examination. One month ago, a follow-up examination showed progression to severe regurgitation, seeking further treatment.
Preoperative Imaging:Normal blood flow velocity below the tricuspid valve, severe regurgitation (4+) above the valve; CTA indicates a tricuspid annulus area of 1370mm².
Surgical Strategy:Plan to implant 2 K-Clips
Surgical Procedure and Outcomes
Intraoperatively, under the guidance of transesophageal echocardiography, one 12T K-Clip was implanted at the posterior annulus and another at the anterior-posterior annulus. Immediately postoperatively, reflux decreased from baseline severe (4+) to mild (1+).

Patient Baseline
Patient, female, 68 years old, has repeatedly experienced lower limb edema, abdominal distension, and dyspnea over the years.
Preoperative Imaging:The blood flow velocity below the tricuspid valve is normal, with severe regurgitation (5+) above the valve; CTA indicates a tricuspid annulus area of 1632 mm².
Surgical Strategy:Plan to implant 2 K-Clips
Surgical Procedure and Outcomes
During the surgery, under the guidance of intraoperative echocardiography, one 14T K-Clip was implanted at the posterior annulus and another at the anterior-posterior annulus. Immediately after the operation, the regurgitation decreased from baseline severe-to-profound (5+) to moderate-to-severe (3+).

Tricuspid regurgitation was once called "the forgotten valvular disease" because of its complex anatomy and limited treatment options, which have long led to high mortality and low intervention rates. As an increasing number of clinical centers adopt K-Clip®Transcatheter Tricuspid Annuloplasty Surgery: The treatment landscape for tricuspid regurgitation is also set to undergo a revolutionary change. K-Clip®Through a simple, safe approach and the concept of physiological repair, it takes a solid first step in the lifelong management of patients with tricuspid regurgitation.
K-Clip®Transcatheter Tricuspid Annuloplasty System:
1. Through vascular puncture approach, minimal damage, with a sheath outer diameter of 18Fr.
2. Simple operation, all completed on the atrial surface, with a short learning curve.
3. All operational steps before dissociation are reversible, and the surgical outcome is controllable.
4. Physiological annuloplasty technique, no damage to native valve leaflets.
