Continuous Hemodynamic Monitoring During Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair: Insights From Pulse Contour-based Assessment

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Prospective pilot study

Authors' conclusion

PCA detected meaningful hemodynamic improvements during T-TEER, characterized by increased CO, enhanced CI, and more stable preload conditions.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair (T-TEER), single tertiary care university hospital
Participants
12 patients
Outcome
Hemodynamic changes measured by pulse contour analysis (PCA)
Methodological detailsexploratory, hypothesis-generating, single-centre
  • Exploratory
