abstract = {Background: The treatment of tricuspid valve (TV) disease has increased over the last decades. This study evaluates trends, patient characteristics, and outcomes of surgical and transcatheter TV interventions over
30 years.
Methods: All consecutive adult patients undergoing TV surgery or transcatheter intervention at the Heart Center Leipzig were included in this unadjusted descriptive analysis. Patients with TV endocarditis were excluded. Surgical data covered 1996–2024, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) 2016–2024, and transcatheter TV replacement (TTVR) 2021–2025. All information was obtained from the institutional database.
Results: A total of 982 patients were analyzed: 450 (46%) surgical, 498 (51%) T-TEER, and 34 (3%) TTVR patients. Surgical patients were younger (67 vs. 79 vs. 81 years, respectively, P},
