‘Zipping technique’ for massive tricuspid leaflet flail—pushing the boundaries of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair: a case report
With increased operator experience and imaging expertise, coupled with device enhancements, the anatomical boundaries of T-TEER can be pushed. The 'zipping' technique, originating from mitral TEER, can be applied in T-TEER to treat large flail gaps or wide coaptation gaps that might have previously been considered unsuitable.
