October 1, 2026 updated by: Edwards Lifesciences

Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair System Coverage With Evidence Development Study (The CLASP III TR CED Study)

This Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) study measures the long-term health outcomes of patients with severe, symptomatic Tricuspid Regurgitation who received a Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair procedure using the PASCAL Precision system.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a prospectively designed, retrospective non-randomized cohort study to measure the 2-year effectiveness of the PASCAL Precision Transcatheter Valve Repair system ("PASCAL Precision system") for the treatment of at least severe tricuspid regurgitation in the real world.

This study will evaluate patients treated with the PASCAL Precision system who have at least severe Tricuspid Regurgitation as compared to Medicare eligible untreated patients. Analysis will be completed using a large, de-identified, claims and electronic health record (EHR) database and supplemented with registry and other claims data.

The primary outcome will also be assessed in various pre-defined subgroups.
