BMC Cardiovasc Disord

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Xuzhou Central Hospital, No.199 Jiefang South Road, Quanshan District, Xuzhou, 221009, People's Republic of China.

Background: The aim of this study is to identify factors associated with the development of long-term severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following mitral valve replacement (MVR).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 308 patients who underwent single-valve MVR at Xuzhou Central Hospital between April 2017 and December 2022. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasound indicated that all patients had either no or mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation.

At standard doses, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) were associated with a reduced risk of systemic embolism and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) when compared with warfarin, with a greater derived benefit at lower creatinine clearance (CrCl-down to 25 mL/min). Lower doses of DOACs were associated with increased overall mortality without a significant decrease in ICH and incident bleeding when compared with standard dose DOACs and warfarin, across all CrCl down to 25 mL/min..

Background: Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is essential in treating cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders, especially in patients with heart failure. Although PPM has been proven to improve quality of life and prolong life expectancy in patients with cardiac conduction disorders, post implantation complications still often occur.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify types of complications and associated predictors in patients undergoing PPM implantation.
