Natural history of coexistent tricuspid regurgitation in patients with degenerative mitral valve disease: Implications for future guidelines

Abstract: Despite durable correction of degenerative mitral regurgitation, less than severe tricuspid regurgitation is likely to progress after surgery if uncorrected. Given the low incremental risk of tricuspid annuloplasty, a more aggressive strategy of concomitant tricuspid repair may be warranted.

“…Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) involves enlargement of the valve annulus and tethering of the leaflets, as a consequence of dilatation and/or dysfunction of the right sided heart chambers (1,2). Although mild TR is usually insignificant, moderate-severe TR is an independent risk factor for progressive heart failure and increased mortality (3)(4)(5)(6).…”

“…Importantly, TV repair achieved superior freedom from TR and improved RV function and pulmonary artery hypertension in patients with worse baseline conditions when compared with MV repair alone. Another observational study supporting prophylactic tricuspid annuloplasty in patients undergoing MV repair for degenerative MR was recently reported by Goldstone and co-workers [16]. The authors defined the incidence and natural history of concomitant less than severe TR in patients submitted to MV repair for degenerative MR.…”

“…Various factors have been reported as risk factors for the persistence or late worsening of TR, 2,4-6,19-24 but Goldstone et al reported that the TAD index was the only significant risk factor for late significant TR in patients with mild or no preoperative TR. 25 In addition, Van de Veire et al reported that the worsening of untreated TR after MVS was mainly determined by the tricuspid annular dimension, not by preoperative TR. 6 Importantly, the present study has shown that current guidelines pertaining to the TAD index for the indication of tricuspid valve surgery, 7,8 which were derived from reports on concomitant MVS alone, 2,4,6 can be applied in isolated AVR for AS.…”
