CTA-determined tricuspid annular dilatation is associated with persistence of tricuspid regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of this study was to analyse the predictive value of CTA-determined tricuspid annular dilatation (TAD) on the persistence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant at least moderate TR.

Methods and results

288 consecutive patients treated with TAVR due to severe AS and concomitant at least moderate TR at baseline were included in the analysis. As cutoff for TAD, the median value of the CTA-determined, to the body surface area-normalized tricuspid annulus diameter (25.2 mm/m²) was used. TAD had no impact on procedural characteristics or outcomes, including procedural death and technical or device failure according to the Valve Academic Research Con
