Clinical Evidence

Pivot-TR has demonstrated strong first-in-human results, achieving significant TR reduction, right heart remodeling, and symptom improvement in high-risk patients with severe secondary TR. Building on these outcomes, Tau Medical is expanding clinical trials and compassionate-use programs for Pivot Extend® and Pivot Bridge® across multiple sites in South Korea, Australia, Canada, Japan, India, and Germany.
