Effective tricuspid regurgitation reduction is associated with renal improvement and reduced heart failure hospitalization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies have demonstrated an association between tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and organ dysfunction including hepatic and renal insufficiency. Improvement of liver function following transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) has already been linked to reduction of venous congestion due to TR reduction. This study analyzes whether TR-reduction using T-TEER is also associated with improved renal function.

Methods and results

The TRIC-ULM registry includes 92 selected patients undergoing T-TEER between March 2017 and May 2023. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improvement was evident in 53 patients (57%) at 3-months follow-up (FU) and defined by FU eGFR > baseline eGFR. Median age was 80 [interquartile range 75-83] years, pre- and postinterventiona
