Role of preexisting right ventricular remodeling in symptoms and prognosis after transcatheter tricuspid valve repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with chronic volume overload and right ventricular remodeling (RVR). Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) reduces TR and can improve quality of life (QoL), but the role of preprocedural RVR on TTVr outcomes remains unclear.

Aims

To investigate the role of RVR on outcomes after TTVr for severe TR.

Methods

Consecutive patients undergoing TTVr (61% edge-to-edge vs. 39% direct annuloplasty) for severe TR were retrospectively compared by preexisting RVR which was defined as dilation of RV mid-level diameter (> 35 mm) according to guidelines. QoL was evaluated using NYHA class, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and 6-min walking distance (6M
