Management of Volume Overload in Severe Atrial-Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: Improved Feasibility of Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair.

Treatment of volume overload can 1) improve patient functional status; 2) avoid repeated invasive examinations; and 3) establish eligibility for transcatheter tricuspid intervention. ().
