Abstract Background Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) is often present in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity after percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) using the MitraClip (Abbott Vascular). It is unclear to what extent TR is reduced after PMVR and whether the reduction of TR is related to survival and functional outcome. Purpose The aim of this study was to determine (1) the TR course after PMVR and (2) if this was related to survival and clinical outcome. Methods Patients who underwent PMVR and had complete echocardiographic data at baseline and follow-up were included. TR severity was graded as none, mild, moderate or severe (according to current guidelines) and was determined before treatment and at 6-months of follow up. Favorable TR course was defined as improvement of ≥1 grade or ≤ mild TR at 6-months. Clinical endpoints were all-cause mortality during 1-year of follow-up and improvement in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class after 6 months. Results A total of 67 patients were included (mean age 76 years, 57% male, 81% NYHA class ≥3 and 69% baseline TR ≥ moderate). Favorable TR course was achieved in 31 patients (46%) (figure 1A). All-cause mortality at 1 year was 7.5%, and was lower in the favorable TR course group (0% vs. 13.9%, p=0.057) (figure 1B). Improvement in NYHA class at 6-months was seen in 45% of patients without vs. 81% of patients with favorable TR course (p=0.01) (figure 1C). Conclusion A favorable TR course is achieved in 46% of PMVR patients and is associated with improved survival and improvement of NYHA class. The relatively high rate of an unfavorable TR course at 6-months, indicates that interventional treatment of the tricuspid valve might benefit these patients.
