Acute Afterload Mismatch After TTVr

During this live Journal Club presentation and expert case discussion, members of the ACC CV Imaging Section and the JACC: Case Reports editorial board will review a novel case of acute afterload mismatch after transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) in an 84-year-old woman with symptomatic severe functional tricuspid regurgitation. Attendees will have the opportunity ask questions via chat.

Learning Objectives

  • To consider the impact of TTVr on RV afterload and RV systolic function when sudden changes in hemodynamics are observed during the procedure.
  • To rapidly consider a differential diagnosis of hypotension during TTVr and be prepared to provide timely hemodynamic support for RV dysfunction.
