Impact of body mass index in patients with tricuspid regurgitation after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity and underweight represent classical risk factors for outcome in patients treated for cardiovascular disease. This study describes the impact of different body mass index (BMI) categories on 1-year clinical outcome in patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) undergoing transcatheter-edge-to-edge repair (TEER).

Methods

We analyzed 211 consecutive patients (age 78.3 ± 7.2 years, 55.5% female, median EuroSCORE II 9.6 ± 6.7) with tricuspid regurgitation undergoing TEER from June 2015 until May 2021. Patients were prospectively enrolled in our single center registry and were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were stratified according to body mass index (BMI) into 4 groups: BMI < 20 kg/m² (underweight), BMI 20.0 to < 25.0 kg/m² (normal we
