Predictors of Persistent Tricuspid Regurgitation after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Baseline Tricuspid Regurgitation

Abstract

Baseline moderate-severe TR is not uncommon in patients undergoing TAVR, and frequently improves. However, the presence of AF suggests that that TR is likely to persist after TAVR and is also indicative of a poor long-term outcome. Whether redirecting such patients to surgery for concomitant tricuspid valve repair will further improve outcomes requires further study.
