Multicenter Study Comparative StudyImplications of Concomitant Tricuspid Regurgitation in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Degenerated Surgical Aortic Bioprosthesis: Insights From the PARTNER 2 Aortic Valve-in-Valve Registry.
The aim of this study was to assess the implications of concomitant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients undergoing valve-in-valve (VIV) transcatheter aortic valve replacement. ⋯ Despite higher predicted surgical risk, the presence of TR was not a predictor of long-term outcomes. Importantly, there was significant reduction in TR severity at both short- and long-term follow-up. In selected patients undergoing VIV transcatheter aortic valve replacement, it may be appropriate to conservatively manage concomitant TR.
