About this trial
The present study evaluates patients after interventional therapy of valvular diseases of the right heart. Follow-up examinations include medical history taking, laboratory measurements and an echo. The aim is to assess the different interventional therapies and their impact on patient's outcome.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with planned or recent valve interventions of the right heart (tricuspid regurgitation/ stenosis, pulmonary regurgitation/ stenosis)
>18 years
Written, documented consent
Disqualifiers
Patients in care or unable to consent
Patients who are unable to comply with follow-up examinations
Patients who are detained in an institution
Trial population
Patients after interventional therapy of valvular diseases of the right heart (such as "cardioband" and "edge-to-edge" techniques of the tricuspid valve) performed in Berlin/ Brandenburg (primarily at the Charité, Universitätsmedizin Berlin).
Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Interventional therapy mainly of tricuspid regurgitation (TriClip, Cardioband)
DeviceCatheter-based therapy of valve diseases of the right heart with various devices (e. g. TriClip, Cardioband).
Treatment groups
