Summary
This trial tests a device called 'Pivot Bridge' for people with a severe leaky heart valve (tricuspid regurgitation). The device is inserted through a leg vein and sits in the valve to help it close better. It is only used for about a week. The study involves 20 adults who have already tried medication. The goal is to see if the device safely reduces the leak and improves symptoms.
