Background: The strategy of treatment for tricuspid regurgitation (TR) induced by atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment for TR induced by AF.
Methods: From 2000 to 2021, a total of 1,301 patients underwent tricuspid valve (TV) surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (AVR) is being considered as a safer alternative to redo surgical AVR due to its higher risks, particularly when dealing with failed prostheses.
- A study involving 324 patients from 2010 to 2021 found an overall operative mortality rate of 4.6%, which dropped to 2.5% when excluding those with endocarditis.
- Key risk factors for operative mortality identified were the presence of endocarditis, longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), indicating that patients without endocarditis and acceptable LVEF have good outcomes with redo AVR.
