Clinical Trial Evaluation of the Percutaneous 4Tech TriCinch Coil Tricuspid Valve Repair System

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The objective of the study is to generate safety and performance data for the 4Tech TriCinch Coil System in symptomatic patients suffering from significant functional tricuspid regurgitation with annular dilatation. The TriCinch Coil System is a percutaneous catheter-based medical device for tricuspid valve repair.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Tricinch Coil System treatment<br> | Device: TriCinch Coil System implantation<br>* Patients enrolled in this study with all eligibility criteria confirmed will be implanted with the TriCinch Coil System. This device offers a percutaneous treatment (access through the vein at the groin) to treat the leaking tricuspid valve, without the need for surgical intervention.<br>|
