Impact of tricuspid valve regurgitation severity and its secondary reduction on long-term survival after transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair
Abstract:Background
Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is a frequent heart valve disorder affecting 1–2% of the humans in the general population and over 10% of the individuals older than 75 years. While a symptomatic and prognostic benefit of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for MR (TMVR) was reported, data regarding long-term outcome as well as influence of concomitant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are sparse.
