Tricuspid regurgitation after transcatheter mitral valve repair: Clinical course and impact on outcome.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine the course of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR), identify predictors for severe TR after TMVR and determine the association of severe TR after TMVR with outcome.

Background

TR is often present in patients with symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The clinical course of TR after TMVR has not been clearly determined.

Methods

Patients that underwent TMVR between 2009 and 2017 were included. Clinical data were compared between patients with and without severe TR at 6 months after TMVR. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for severe TR after TMVR. Survival analysis was done for both
