Plain-language summary
The objective of this early feasibility study is to gain early clinical insight into the performance of the Intrepid transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) system intended for transfemoral access to deliver a self-expanding bioprosthetic valve within the tricuspid valve.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Heart Team agrees that patient is deemed symptomatic despite medical therapy (including obligatory diuretic) and a candidate for bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement
* Subject is at an intermediate or greater estimated risk of mortality with tricuspid valve surgery as determined by the local Heart Team
* Subjects with severe symptomatic primary and / or secondary tricuspid regurgitation determined by the Echocardiography Core Lab assessment of a qualifying transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)
* New York Heart Association (NYHA) Function Class II or greater
* Subject anatomically suitable for the Intrepid TTVR delivery system including transfemoral access
* Subject and the treating physician agree that the subject will return for all required post-procedure follow-up visits
* Subject meets the legal minimum age to provide informed consent based on local regulatory requirements
Exclusion Criteria:
* Estimated life expectancy of less than 24 months due to associated non-cardiac co-morbid conditions
* Anatomic contraindications for Intrepid™ TTVR (e.g., annular dimensions)
* Evidence of intracardiac mass, inferior vena cava, or femoral venous mass or thrombus
* Implanted with venous stents (iliac and/or femoral) or inferior vena cava (IVC) filter or congenital abnormalities of the IVC that would preclude ability for transfemoral access of delivery system
* Echocardiographic evidence of severe right ventricular d…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
