This multi-center, randomized clinical trial is enrolling patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation to evaluate the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair System and optimal medical therapy (OMT) compared to OMT alone. The PASCAL system is an edge-to-edge valve repair where a clip is attached to the valve leaflets. Once placed the PASCAL implant acts as a filler to help reduce tricuspid regurgitation. Participants will be seen for follow-up visits at discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years.

This clinical trial is enrolling patients with symptomatic heart failure with LV ejection fraction ≥ 40% and elevated left atrial pressures. Eligible patients are randomized (1:1) to receive the Corvia Atrial Shunt System or control group (no device). The Corvia Atrial Shunt System is an implant placed in the atrial septum designed to allow left to right flow between the left atrium and right atrium to reduce the elevated left atrial pressure in patients with symptomatic heart failure despite appropriate medical management. Patients in the control group are eligible to cross-over to treatment after 12 months.
