Determinants of surgical outcome in patients with isolated tricuspid regurgitation.

10 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: We sought to identify preoperative predictors of clinical outcomes after surgery in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation. METHODS AND RESULTS: We prospectively enrolled 61 consecutive patients (54 women, aged 57+/-9 years) with ... Read more...

Early and midterm outcomes for tricuspid valve surgery after left-sided valve surgery.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the early and midterm results of tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) versus tricuspid valve repair (TVr) for late tricuspid regurgitation after left-sided valve surgery. METHODS: Fifty-one ... Read more...

Clinical and echocardiographic impact of functional tricuspid regurgitation repair at the time of mitral valve replacement.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The indications for tricuspid valve repair in the setting of mitral valve disease and concomitant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remain unclear. We examined patients undergoing mitral valve replacement (MVR) to determine the effect of TR ... Read more...
