Adaptation of right ventricular function following tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) on right ventricular (RV) remodelling remains unclear.

Objectives

This study focused on characterizing changes in RV ejection fraction (RVEF) following T-TEER and their prognostic implications.

Methods

Patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who underwent T-TEER and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were included. Follow-up CMR was performed within 1 to 3 months after the procedure. Patients were classified by postprocedural RVEF change: decreased (≤-5%), stable (-4% to 4%) or increased (≥5%). The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization.

Results

The study included 69 patients (median age 78 years; 54% female). RVEF
