Brief Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and demonstrate the efficacy of treatment to improve tricuspid regurgitation (TR) symptoms in patients with severe and clinically symptomatic TR through long-term implantation of an investigational medical device.

1. Determine the safety of long-term implantation of the investigational medical device "Pivot Extend" by monitoring for MACEs associated with the investigational medical device or procedure that may occur with long-term associated with the investigational medical device or procedure that may occur with long-term implantation.

2. Device success, procedural success, and clinical outcomes of long-term implantation of the investigational medical device "Pivot Extend" will be monitored.

Study Groups

Treatment to Improve TR Symptoms with Investigational Medical Device Implantation

Participants assigned to this arm will receive an investigational medical device designed to improve symptoms of severe and clinically symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Following device implantation, participants will be monitored in a specialized facility for at least 24 hours with real-time observation of vital signs. The device's safety and efficacy will be assessed over 12 months through scheduled visits, with clinical progress monitored throughout. Device removal may be performed if adverse events occur or if deemed necessary by the investigator.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Pivot Extend Tricuspid Regurgitation Spacer Device

Intervention Type: DEVICE

The Pivot Extend Tricuspid Regurgitation Spacer Device is an investigational implant designed to reduce tricuspid regurgitation (TR) by occupying the regurgitant orifice and improving leaflet coaptation. The device is implanted via a transcatheter procedure under imaging guidance. Following implantation, participants will undergo post-procedural monitoring for at least 24 hours to ensure safety and device stability. The device is intended for long-term placement, with scheduled follow-up assessments at designated intervals over a 12-month period to evaluate its safety and efficacy. Device removal may be performed if adverse events occur or if deemed necessary by the investigator.
