Effects of tricuspid valve repair on gut health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how fixing a severe leaky tricuspid valve (T-TEER) affects your gut bacteria and digestive health. It aims to see if correcting this heart valve issue can improve your digestion and overall well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have severe tricuspid regurgitation (a leaky heart valve on the right side) that is being treated with a minimally invasive valve repair procedure (T-TEER)
- You do not have severe leakage in your mitral valve (another heart valve) at the same time
