Hemodynamic Characteristics and Outcomes of Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients Undergoing Tricuspid Valve Repair or Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on outcomes after surgical tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) and repair (TVr) is unclear. We sought to characterize PH in patients undergoing TVR/TVr, based on invasive hemodynamics and evaluate the effect of PH on mortality.

Methods

We identified 86 consecutive patients who underwent TVR/TVr with invasive hemodynamic measurements within 3 months before surgery. We used Kaplan-Meier survival and restricted mean survival time (RMST) analyses to quantify the effects of PH on survival.

Results

The mean age was 63 ± 13 years, 59% were female, 45% had TVR, 55% had TVr, 39.5% had isolated TVR/TVr, and 60.5% had TVR/TVr concomitant with other cardiac surgeries). Eighty-six percent of these patients had PH with a mean pulmo
