Impact of tricuspid regurgitation with and without repair during aortic valve replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-term outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) are worse in patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR), but the impact of concomitant tricuspid valve intervention remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of tricuspid intervention in patients with TR undergoing AVR.

Methods

Patients undergoing AVR in a regional Society of Thoracic Surgeons database (2001-2017) were stratified by severity of TR and whether or not they underwent concomitant tricuspid intervention. Operative morbidity and mortality were compared between the 2 groups. Further analysis was performed using propensity score-matched pairs.

Results

Among 17,483 patients undergoing AVR, 8984 (51%) had no TR, 7252 (41%) had mild TR, 1060 (6%) had moderate TR, and 187
