Burden of Tricuspid Regurgitation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with poor outcomes after cardiac surgery. Guidelines recommend correction of severe TR in patients undergoing left-sided valve surgery but not coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). We sought to evaluate impact of TR on outcomes after CABG.

Methods

All patients (n = 28,027) undergoing CABG in The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) regional database (2011 to 2018) were stratified by TR severity. Primary outcomes included major morbidity or mortality, which were compared using univariate analysis.

Results

Of patients undergoing CABG, 4837 (17%) had mild, 800 (3%) had moderate, and 81 (0.29%) had severe TR. Increased severity was associated with higher rate of preoperative heart failure (none 5162 [23.4%] vs mil
