Abstract
A device for reshaping the tricuspid valve comprises a stent that is deployed in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) adjacent to the tricuspid valve and expanded to a size sufficient to reduce the annular diameter or size of the tricuspid valve, thereby improving coaptation of the leaflets and reducing regurgitation. Embodiments of the device are deliverable percutaneously.
