  8. For people with severe and symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation, evidence on the efficacy of transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty is limited in quantity and quality. Evidence on its safety shows there are serious but well-recognised complications. Therefore, for these people, this procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. Find out what special arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
