Not Applicable

• Conditions: Tricuspid Regurgitation
• Interventions: Device: Neoblazar® Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Edge-to Edge Repair System

• Registration Number: NCT05497141
• Lead Sponsor: Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital, Xiamen University

Brief Summary

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Dawneo Neoblazar® transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair system in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation.

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, objective performance criteria trial. 98 patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. This study will be conducted in in each site as run-in subjects. Subjects who meet the requirements and who voluntarily participate in the trial and sign the informed consent form, will be implanted with the Neoblazar® Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Edge-to Edge Repair System.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES：To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Dawneo Neoblazar® transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair system in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation.

CLINICAL INVESTIGATION POPULATION:Patients who are on echocardiographic evidence of severe tricuspid regurgitation.

CLINICAL INVESTIGATION DESIGN:This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, objective performance criteria trial. 98 patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. This study will be conducted in in each site as run-in subjects. Subjects who meet the requirements and who voluntarily participate in the trial and sign the informed consent form, will be implanted with the Neoblazar® Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Edge-to Edge Repair System.
