A retrospective and observational clinical study from Children’s Hospital Colorado and other centers was not included; instead, the included cardiology device update points to kidney-protective effects in severe tricuspid regurgitation. Researchers at Robert Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart reported that kidney function improved after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER), alongside a sharp fall in episodes of acute kidney injury. The findings add to the evidence base that transcatheter valve interventions may have multiorgan effects, supporting further evaluation of renal endpoints in valve programs for high-risk populations.
