Abstract

Background. We sought to determine the relationship between tricuspid right ventricular (RV) and tricuspid valve (TV) remodeling and late failure of tricuspid annuloplasty. Methods. From May 2009 to December 2015, 423 patients undergoing tricuspid annuloplasty (TA) for functional TR at a single were analyzed. Residual TR was defined TR moderate-or-more at discharge. Recurrent TR was defined TR-moderate-or-more at follow up. RV remodeling was defined RV dysfunction and/or dilatation. Results. Residual TR after TA was recorded in 54. Five-year freedom from TR recurrence was 86.3±2.3% for patients without residual TR vs 57.6±7.6% for patients with residual TR, p<0.001. Evaluating late results of 369 patients without residual TR, following risk factors were identified: preoperative pulmonary pressure, pre RV remodeling, pre TR and TV remodeling, functional mitral regurgitation. Conclusions. Prophylactic tricuspid annuloplasty should be encouraged among surgeons. TA at the time of left-sided valve surgery should take into consideration not only annular size, but also tethering severity and RV remodeling.
