Video Summary

A 78-year-old woman with severe tricuspid regurgitation presents symptoms like dyspnea, fatigue, edema, and has a history of atrial fibrillation treated with pulmonary vein isolation. She’s been hospitalized multiple times for heart failure and is on medications including losartan and amiodarone. Her tests show severe biatrial enlargement and normal biventricular function without coronary artery disease. Despite her severe regurgitation, the anatomy is favorable for edge repair, making her a candidate for advanced interventional treatment. The case is indicative of significant heart issues but offers therapeutic opportunities given her profile.
