Participants with severe tricuspid regurgitation may require heart surgery to repair or replace the tricuspid valve. However, there is a high risk associated with these surgeries and it is often not feasible for elderly patients or those with other medical conditions. The goal of this clinical investigation is * To assess the safety of the investigational device "Pivot Extend" in participants aged 18 years or over with severe and clinically symptomatic Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) deemed suitable for percutaneous valve intervention * To evaluate device success, procedural success and clinical outcomes in improving TR symptoms following implantation of the "Pivot Extend" device

The investigational "Pivot Extend" device will be inserted through a small incision in the femoral vein and guided to the heart using a catheter. The Pivot Extend device is designed to sit in the space where the valve isn't closing, helping the flaps of the valve to close tightly and reducing the amount of blood leaking back through the valve.

RECRUITINGTo evaluate the safety of the implantation of the "Pivot Extend" device
Occurrence rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (e.g. stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism)
Time frame: 30 days post device implantation
To evaluate the Pivot Extend device success
Rate of successful device placement at target location
Time frame: During implantation procedure
To evaluate the procedural success (1)
The number of participants who experienced at least 1 drop in their TR grade from screening, based on echocardiographic assessment
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate the procedural success (2)
Changes in echocardiogram (measurements and assessments of the heart's structure and function) as assessed by the central "Core Lab" reader
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate the procedural success (3)
Occurrence rate of MACE associated with the device or procedure
Time frame: 180 and 365 days after device implantation
To evaluate the procedural success (4)
Changes in Computed Tomography (CT) images (evaluating the size, shape and function of the tricuspid valve following Pivot Extend device insertion) as assessed by the central "Core Lab" reader.
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate the clinical outcomes (1)
Changes in right ventricular volume from baseline, assessed by cardiac computed tomography (CT)
Time frame: 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate the clinical outcomes (2)
Changes in echocardiogram (measurements and assessments of the heart's structure and function) as assessed by the central "Core Lab" reader
Time frame: 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate the clinical outcomes (3)
Number of participants with improvement in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (system to classify the severity of heart failure symptoms) from baseline
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate clinical outcomes (4)
Measure in the changes of distance travelled during a 6 Minute Walk Test from baseline
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate clinical outcomes (5)
Changes in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 (KCCQ-12) score (a measure of symptoms, physical limitation, social limitations and quality of life domains) from baseline. Participants will be asked to tick a box on a scale indicating how each domain affects their life (e.g. scales range from extremely limited to not at all limited, from every morning/night to never over the past 2 weeks, from completely dissatisfied to completely satisfied). The responses will be used to calculate an average score on a scale of 0 to 100. A higher score equates to better outcomes (i.e. fewer symptoms, better physical and social function, improved quality of life).
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate clinical outcomes (6)
Number of participants with at least 1 level of improvement in pitting edema from baseline
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
To evaluate clinical outcome measures (7)
Changes in eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) from baseline
Time frame: 30 days, 180 days and 365 days post device implantation
