Isolated tricuspid valve surgery after congenital versus left heart-disease surgery: mid-term outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left heart involvement might be a differential factor in the physiopathology and prognosis of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following cardiac surgery. We aimed to compare the outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve surgery (ITVS) after congenital versus left heart-disease surgery.

Methods

We retrospectively studied and followed up 58 patients who underwent ITVS for TR following cardiac surgery in our center from January 2012 to December 2017. According to the different etiologies of TR, the participants were divided into one group of TR following surgery for congenital heart diseases (CHD) (pCHD group, n=24), and another group of TR following surgery for left heart disease (pVHD group, n=34).

Results

Compared to the pCHD group, the pVHD group presented w
