The tricuspid valve controls blood as it flows from the heart's right atrium to the right ventricle.

Key Points: 
  • The tricuspid valve controls blood as it flows from the heart's right atrium to the right ventricle.
  • TR occurs when the valve doesn't close properly, causing a leak and allowing blood to flow backward in the heart.
  • TR can force the heart to work harder, causing debilitating symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.
  • TriClip has been approved for use in more than 50 countries, including in Europe and Canada, since its initial CE Mark approval in 2020.

NEW YORK, April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Participants on CHIPS®, the largest private sector high-value clearing and settlement system in the world, receive significant economic benefits due to its patented liquidity savings algorithm. In 2023 this algorithm generated an economic value for CHIPS participants and the financial system of $4.99 billion, or $13.8 million per day, estimates The Clearing House, the operator of CHIPS and the leading innovator and operator of U.S. payments networks.

Key Points: 
  • Financial institution participants on CHIPS benefit from enhanced liquidity efficiency that saves the industry almost $14 million per day.
  • In 2023 this algorithm generated an economic value for CHIPS participants and the financial system of $4.99 billion.
  • The economic value to participants and the industry from the liquidity efficiency of CHIPS can be approximated by considering the opportunity cost of routing CHIPS payments, which in 2023 averaged $1.8 trillion per day, through less liquidity efficient payment channels.
  • Beyond this economic value, the liquidity efficiency of the CHIPS network allows CHIPS participants and their customers to deploy scarce liquidity more flexibly and contributes to a more nimble and less risky financial system.
