- A study analyzed the effects of moderate mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), focusing on mortality and rehospitalization rates.
- Among 813 patients, moderate MR did not significantly affect short- or mid-term mortality but was linked to higher rates of rehospitalization.
- Conversely, moderate to severe TR was associated with increased mortality, indicating the need for a detailed assessment of both MR and TR in TAVI candidates to optimize treatment outcomes.
