- Major Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 30 days ]The percentage of participants with Major Adverse Events within 30 days of the procedure: death, Q-wave myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, cardiac surgery for failed MIA implantation, or stroke
- Reduction in tricuspid regurgitation at 30 days [ Time Frame: 30 days ]The reduction in the degree of tricuspid regurgitation compared to baseline measured post-procedure, at post-operative hospital discharge and at 1 month post-operative. Ability to reduce tricuspid regurgitation by at least 1 degree by means of quantitative echocardiographic parameters
- Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Serious Adverse Device Events (SADE) [ Time Frame: 3 months ]The percentage of participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Serious Adverse Device Events (SADE) within 6 months of the procedure will be compared to the literature.
- Reduction in tricuspid regurgitation [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Assessment in the degree of Tricuspid Regurgitation at 3 months compared to baseline Ability to maintain improvement in tricuspid regurgitation with respect to baseline.
- Quality of Life Measurement [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Change in quality of life questionnaire (Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire) compared to baseline at 6 months
