Initial Real-World Experience of Tricuspid Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Asia.
Article in JACC. Asia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTricuspid regurgitation (TR) causes significant morbidity. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been proven effective in relieving TR symptoms. Access to tricuspid TEER and the associated experience are limited in Asia.
objectivesThis study aimed to summarize the initial experience with the tricuspid TEER system (Abbott) in Asia.
methodsPatients undergoing tricuspid TEER (Abbott) from 2017 to 2024 were enrolled from 4 centers in Asia. The primary endpoint was device success (TR ≤moderate) at 30 days. Secondary endpoints included inpatient complications, 30-day NYHA functional class, and 30-day major adverse events. Risk factors for 30-day device success were identified.
resultsA total of 106 patients were included, with a mean age of 76.1 ± 10 years, and 88.7% (n = 94 of 106) had atrial fibrillation. Most TR cases treated were functional (88.7% [n = 94 of 106]), with over half classified as massive or torrential (56.6% [n = 60 of 106]). Tricuspid TEER was performed using off-label MitraClip in 22.6% (n = 24), while the remaining 77.4% (n = 82) utilized TriClip. Combined procedures (with mitral TEER and others) were common (47.2% [n = 50 of 106]). At 30 days, 74.0% (n = 77 of 104) achieved device success (TR ≤moderate), and 95.2% (n = 99 of 104) experienced at least a 1-grade TR reduction. Additionally, 96.2% (n = 100 of 104) were NYHA functional class I/II, and major adverse events were 1.9% (n = 2 of 106) at 30 days. Baseline nontorrential TR and increased clinical experience (second half of cases) were associated with 30-day device success (P = 0.010 and P = 0.044, respectively).
conclusionsThe early experience with tricuspid TEER in Asia is promising, demonstrating a reasonable device success rate and a high safety profile. Clinical experience is associated with improved device success.
