In-Hospital Outcomes of Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair: An Analysis From the National Inpatient Sample.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation carry an elevated surgical risk resulting in increasing adoption of less invasive transcatheter therapies such as transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR); however, data are limited. This study aimed to describe patient characteristics and predictors of poor outcomes among those undergoing TTVR.

Methods

The National Inpatient Sample was queried (2016-2019) to identify all patients undergoing TTVR (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code 02UJ3JZ) alone or in combination with mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MTEER) (code 02UG3JZ). The primary aim was to define clinical characteristics, time trends, in-hospital outcomes, and predictors of all-cause in-hospital mortality (mortality).
