Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with severe tricuspid regurgitation who are being treated for heart failure. Participants will be evaluated to see if they can safely receive a new valve treatment.
I have been treated for heart failure for over 30 days.
I can move around if my condition is severe.
My medical team believes I can benefit from the VDyne System.
Tests confirm I am suitable for treatment with the VDyne System.
You may not be able to join if
I have heart anatomy that cannot support the VDyne System.
I have an allergy to nickel or titanium.
I have severe lung disease.
I had a stroke in the past 6 months.
I am pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
I had a heart attack in the past 30 days.
I am currently using anticoagulant drugs that I cannot manage.
I have a serious infection like sepsis within the last 6 months.
Summarized in plain language from this trial's official eligibility criteria.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Severe or greater tricuspid valve regurgitation of primary or secondary etiology.
2. NYHA class ≥ II. If NYHA Class IV, patient must be ambulatory.
3. Subject is adequately treated with medical therapy for heart failure \>30 days prior to index procedure, including a diuretic.
4. Heart Team determines patient is a recommended candidate for the VDyne System.
5. Age 18 years or older at time of the index procedure.
6. Clinical Screening Committee (CSC) and Imaging Core Labs confirm suitability for treatment with the VDyne System.
Exclusion Criteria:
VDYNE SYSTEM SUITABILITY
1. Patient anatomy (cardiac and vascular) is not suitable for the VDyne System as assessed by Imaging Core Labs, Sponsor and/or Clinical Screening Committee (CSC)
2. Intolerance to procedural anticoagulation or post-procedural antiplatelet/anticoagulation regimen that cannot be medically managed
3. Hypersensitivity to nickel or titanium
CLINICAL EXCLUSION CRITERIA (assessed by pre-procedural imaging)
4. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) \<30%
5. Severe RV dysfunction as assessed by the Clinical Screening Committee (CSC).
6. Significant abnormalities of the tricuspid valve and sub-valvular apparatus
7. Sepsis including active infective endocarditis (IE) (within the last 6 months)
8. Right ventricular, atrial thrombus, vegetation or mass on tricuspid valve.
9. Severe tricuspid annular or leaflets calcification
10. Systolic pulmonary hypertension with systolic pulmonary artery pressure \>70 mmHg or pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) \>5 wood units as determined by RHC.
11. History of rheumatic fever that impacts the native tricuspid valve or surrounding structures.
CONCOMITANT PROCEDURES
12. Significant coronary artery disease requiring treatment such as symptomatic, unresolved multi-vessel or unprotected left main coronary artery disease (CAD).
13. Any planned surgery or interventional procedure within 30 days prior to or following the implant procedure. This includes any planned concomitant cardiovascular procedure \[e.g. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), pulmonary vein ablation, left atrial appendage occlusion, septal defect repair, etc.\]
14. Unresolved severe symptomatic carotid stenosis (\> 70% by ultrasound)
15. Cardiac resynchronization therapy device or implantable pulse generator implanted within 60 days of planned implant procedure.
16. Permanent pacing leads that will interfere with delivery or implantation of the VDyne Valve.
17. Cardiogenic shock or hemodynamic instability requiring inotropes or mechanical support devices at the time of planned implant procedure.
18. Prior tricuspid valve surgery or catheter-based therapy with permanent residual device(s) implanted that would preclude delivery or implantation of the VDyne Valve (e.g. valve replacement, edge to edge repair, etc.)
19. Significant valvular heart disease requiring intervention other than the tricuspid valve
20. Known significant intracardiac shunt \[e.g. septal defect), patent foramen ovales (PFOs) without significant shunts are allowed\]
COMORBIDITIES
21. Cerebrovascular accident (stroke, TIA) within 6 months of treatment procedure
22. Severe lung disease \[severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or continuous use of home oxygen or oral steroids\]
23. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within 30 days
24. Significant renal dysfunction (eGFR\<30 ml/min/1.73m2) or on dialysis
25. End-stage liver disease (MELD \> 11 and Child-Pugh class C)
26. Bleeding requiring transfusion within 30 days
27. Coagulopathy or other clotting disorder that cannot be medically managed
28. Chronic immunosuppression or other condition that could impair healing response
29. Any of the following: leukopenia, chronic anemia \[Hemoglobin (Hgb) \< 9\], current thrombocytopenia (platelets \<70), history of bleeding diathesis, or coagulopathy
30. Unwilling to receive blood products GENERAL EXCLUSION CRITERIA
31. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to procedural or post-procedural medications (e.g., contrast solution) which cannot be adequately managed medically
32. Life expectancy less than 12 months due to non-cardiac comorbidities
33. Treatment is not expected to provide benefit (futile)
34. Current IV Drug user (must be free drug abuse for \> 1 year)
35. Pregnant, lactating or planning pregnancy during the course of the study
36. Vulnerable patient groups (minors, cognitively impaired persons, prisoners, persons whose willingness to volunteer could be unduly influenced by the expectation of benefits associated with participation or of retaliatory response from senior members of a hierarchy in case of refusal to participate, such as students, residents, and employees)
37. Currently participating in an investigational drug or device trial that has not reached its primary endpoint or is likely to interfere with this study
38. Patient (or legal guardian) unable or unwilling to provide written informed consent before study-specific procedures are conducted
39. Patient unable or unwilling to comply with study required testing and follow-up visits.
