Late Survival

<strong>Background:</strong> Concomitant tricuspid valve repair (TVr) for functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) at the time of left-sided valve surgery has become increasingly more common over the past decade. The impact of residual post-repair TR on late outcomes remains unclear.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> All patients undergoing TVr during concomitant left-sided valve surgery at our institution from 2005-2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were stratified into 2 groups according to the degree of post-cardiopulmonary bypass TR observed on intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography; 0-1+ TR (No TR, n = 246) and ≥2+ TR (Residual TR, n = 26). Primary outcomes of interest were 30-day survival, 4-year survival, and follow-up TR grade. A propensity-matched subgroup analysis was performed in addition to the overall cohort analysis.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Mean age for all patients was 70.3 ± 13.0 years and 107 (39%) patients were male. There was no difference in 30-day survival between groups (92% No TR versus 96% Residual TR, P = .70). Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall 4-year survival showed a trend toward worsened survival in the Residual TR group (log rank P = .17) and propensity-matched subgroup analysis showed significantly worse 4-year survival for Residual TR (log rank P = .02). At mean echocardiographic follow up of 11.9 ± 22.5 months, TR grade was significantly worse in the Residual TR group compared to No TR (1.5 ± 0.8 Residual TR versus 0.9 ± 0.9 No TR, <br />P = .005), although TR severity was significantly improved from immediately post-bypass. <br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Patients left with residual TR following TVr during concomitant left-sided valve surgery have significantly decreased late survival compared to patients left with no post-repair TR.

The Mean

Abstract Background: Tricuspid regurgitation after left-sided valve surgery was associated with terrible outcomes and high perioperative mortality for redo surgical treatment. In current years, minimally invasive redo isolated tricuspid valve repair is increasingly performed in our institution to address tricuspid regurgitation. Methods: Thirty-seven consecutive patients with previous left-sided valve surgery underwent minimally invasive redo isolated tricuspid valve repair in our institution between November 2017 and December 2020. Twenty-nine patients(78.4%) were women and the mean age of patients was 58.4±8.5 years. Follow-up was 100% complete with a mean follow-up time of 16.8±9.4 months.Results: Both the in-hospital and 30-day mortalities were 2.7%. The overall NYHA class had improved significantly during the follow-up(p＜0.001). The grade of TR had decreased before discharge(p＜0.001) and during the follow-up(p＜0.001) compared with the preoperative level although severe TR was recurrent in one patient.Conclusions: Minimally invasive redo isolated tricuspid valve repair has remarkable early and midterm outcomes, may be the preferred surgical option to address tricuspid regurgitation after previous left-sided valve surgery when it is feasible.

Abstract Background Transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair (TTVR) is a novel treatment option in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), right-sided heart failure and prohibitive surgical risk. Purpose We investigated whether RVRR can occur early after TTVR in patients with isolated TR and its potential association with clinical outcome. Method We measured right ventricular parameters by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at baseline (BL) in 44 consecutive patients undergoing TTVR for isolated severe TR. We obtained follow-up (FU) TTEs after 1 month. Results At BL, we observed dilated RVs with an RV end-diastolic area (RVEDA) of 28.0±8.3cm2, RV mid diameter of 40.7±7.3mm and tricuspid annulus of 47.5±8.1mm. The majority of patients (63%) showed RV systolic dysfunction with either a tricuspid annular plane excursion (TAPSE) <17mm or fractional area change (FAC) <35%. In 40 Patients (90%), a periprocedural TR reduction by at least 1 degree was achieved (p<0.01). During further clinical FU (272±183 days), 21 patients died (of whom 14 had prior hospitalizations for heart failure before death), 8 patients had hospitalizations for heart failure, 1 patient underwent heart transplantation and 1 patient was lost to clinical FU. We acquired a short-term echocardiographic follow-up (Echo-FU) after 30 days in 36 patients (82%). TR reduction was stable after 1 month with a TR grade ≤2+ in 26 of 36 patients (72%, p<0.01 vs BL). We detected RVRR in the majority of patients with 1-month Echo-FU: RVEDA decreased from 28.8±8.2 to 26.3±7.4cm2 (p<0.01), RV mid diameter from 41.2±7.3 to 38.5±7.7mm (p<0.01) and tricuspid annulus from 48.3±8.3 to 42.8±6.6mm (Figure, p<0.01). We observed a non-significant trend towards reduction of TAPSE (17.5mm to 16.1 mm, p=0.12) and FAC (37.8% to 35.5%, p=0.17), which could represent a normalization of systolic function of a previously hyperactive RV. Next, we evaluated whether RVRR is potentially associated with clinical outcome. We stratified patients into two groups with more or less than median change in RVEDA, RV mid diameter and TV annulus. Fewer combined clinical events (time to death or repeat intervention or first hospitalization for heart failure) were observed in patients with pronounced decrease of RV mid diameter (p=0.03) and TV annulus (Figure, p=0.02) at FU. A decrease of RVEDA showed a non-significant trend towards better outcome (p=0.06). Figure 1 Conclusions Our report demonstrates that RVRR occurs already 1 month after TTVR for isolated TR and is associated with less clinical endpoints.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in infancy poses a surgical challenge. Both two- and three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) can provide detailed information about the mechanism(s) of valve failure and insights into valve adaptation during follow-up. We report two patients who underwent tricuspid valve repair using Gore-Tex neochordae, repairs which were facilitated by and assessed with 3DE. Both infants had less than mild residual TR and no valve tethering at hospital discharge. Furthermore, follow-up 3DEs have helped to confirm valve competence, lack of tethering, and growth of the valve and valve apparatus.

Background Several papers already reported better outcomes of tricuspid valve repair with ring annuloplasty compared to suture techniques. However, the follow-up is usually limited to 10 years. With this study, we aim to analyze the results of tricuspid valve repair according to the technique employed when the follow-up is extended to more than 15 years. Materials and methods A retrospective review of our institutional database was carried on to find all patients who underwent tricuspid valve repair between January 1998 and December 2004. Kaplan–Meier method was employed to estimate survival and log-rank test was used to make intergroup comparison. Cox regression was employed to identify risk factor for mortality. Cumulative incidence function using death as competitive outcome was used to estimate cardiac death. To describe the time course of tricuspid regurgitation, a longitudinal analysis using generalized estimating equations with random intercept for correlated data was performed. Results One hundred forty-six patients were identified: 89 in the suture group and 57 in the ring group. No difference in term of long-term survival and cardiac death was evident between the two groups. A significant higher rate of tricuspid regurgitation ≥2+ and ≥3+ recurrence was evident in the suture group during the whole follow-up (p < 0.001). Conclusion Our results corroborate the better results of tricuspid valve repair by means of ring implantation compared to suture techniques also when the follow-up is extended up to 18 years. Ring annuloplasty should be considered the first option for tricuspid valve repair due to a better durability.
