Bridging Early Feasibility and Pivotal Trials: Insights From Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Interventions.
Early feasibility studies (EFS) are critical in the clinical development of high-risk cardiovascular devices, enabling first-in-human evaluation and iterative refinement prior to pivotal investigation. Regulatory frameworks supporting EFS have evolved substantially in the United States (US), while structured European pathways are emerging.
