Tricuspid Annulus Dilation in Patients With Combined Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation and Left-Heart Valvular Disease: Does Septal Annulus Not Dilate?

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the course of tricuspid annulus dilation in functional tricuspid regurgitation with varied severities by direct intraoperative assessment.

Methods

A total of 317 patients who underwent left heart surgery and concomitant tricuspid repair were divided into three groups according to the severity of the functional tricuspid regurgitation (mild, moderate and severe). Demographic and echocardiographic data were collected. The length of each tricuspid annulus segment was measured intraoperatively. The risk factors for preoperative severe functional tricuspid regurgitation and its postoperative recurrence were identified, and the impact of each tricuspid annulus segment on postoperative recurrence was compared.

Results

In the course
