Caval valve implantation for the treatment of severe TR and advanced right ventricular failure is associated with a high procedural success rate and seems safe and feasible in an excessive-risk cohort. The study demonstrates hemodynamic efficacy with consistent elimination of TR-associated venous backflow and initial clinical improvement. These results encourage further trials to determine which patients benefit most from this interventional approach.
