Tricuspid valve repair devices and associated systems and methods

Abstract

Tricuspid valve repair devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A tricuspid valve repair device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a coaptation member configured to be positioned between one or more native leaflets of the tricuspid valve to at least partially fill a space between the native leaflets. The tricuspid valve repair device can further include one or more fixation mechanisms for securing the coaptation member in position between the leaflets. The fixation mechanisms can include clip mechanisms, lock mechanisms, stabilization members, anchors, and/or other structures configured to engage cardiac anatomy local to or remote from the tricuspid valve, such as the native leaflets, the tricuspid valve annulus, the right ventricular outflow tract, the superior vena cava, the inferior vena cava, and so on.
