The median time from HTX to T-TEER was 13\u2009years. A total of 2 (n\u2009=\u20094) and 3 (n\u2009=\u20093) clips were implanted with a technical success in 6\/7 (one single- device detachment). TR reduction was effective and durable within a median echocardiographic follow-up time of 10\u2009months (TR baseline vs last follow-up: P\u2009=\u20090.03). Further, significant right ventricular remodelling (right ventricular end-diastolic diameter: 50\u2009mm\u201336\u2009mm, P\u2009=\u20090.02), decrease in the inferior vena cava diameter (24\u2009mm\u201318\u2009mm, P\u2009=\u20090.04) and in the gamma-glutamyl-transferase (255 U\/l\u2013159 U\/l, P\u2009=\u20090.04) was found. Four of 7 patients were free of cardiovascular death (n\u2009=\u20091, 267\u2009days after T-TEER), cardiac redo surgery (n\u2009=\u20091) and heart failure hospitalization (n\u2009=\u20092) and had no further clinical signs of right heart failure.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>T-TEER after HTX is feasible and effective regarding TR reduction in a short-term follow-up.
