Outcome of consistent guideline-based tricuspid management in patients undergoing degenerative mitral regurgitation correction.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Despite coherent guidelines, management of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) consequences on outcome in the context of degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) remains controversial due to lacking series of large magnitude with rigorous application of tricuspid guidelines and strict long-term echocardiographic follow-up. Thus, we aimed at gathering such a cohort to examine outcomes of patients undergoing DMR surgery following tricuspid surgery guidelines.

Methods

All consecutive patients with isolated DMR 2005-2015 operated on with baseline FTR assessment and tricuspid annulus diameter measurement were identified. Operative complications, postoperative tricuspid regurgitation incidence, and survival were assessed overall and stratified by guideline-based tri
