Does concomitant tricuspid valve surgery increase the risks of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery? A multicentre comparison based on data from The Netherlands Heart Registration.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Mitral valve (MV) disease is often accompanied by tricuspid valve (TV) disease. The indication for concomitant TV surgery during primary MV surgery is expected to increase, especially through a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach. The aim of the current study is to investigate the safety of the addition of TV surgery to MV surgery in MIMVS in a nationwide registry.

Methods

Patients undergoing atrioventricular valve surgery through sternotomy or MIS between 2013 and 2018 were included. Patients undergoing MV surgery only through sternotomy or MIS were used as comparison. Primary outcomes were short-term morbidity and mortality and long-term survival. Propensity score matching was used to correct for potential confounders.
