Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The unique pathophysiologic considerations of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) have led to advancements in surgical and transcatheter treatments. The purpose of this review is to highlight the current surgical and transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI) to functional TR. RECENT FINDINGS Surgical repair with ring annuloplasty consistently demonstrates better outcomes than surgical replacement or other repair approaches. However, surgical uptake of TR correction remains relatively low, and operative mortality rates are still high owing to multiple comorbidities and advanced tricuspid valve disease/right ventricular dysfunction at time of referral. Pivotal trials for tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) and transcatheter TV replacement (TTVR) indicate improved quality of life compared to medical therapy alone for high-surgical-risk patients with severe symptomatic TR. Trials are underway to assess caval valve implantation (CAVI), which holds hope for many severe TR patients who are not ideal candidates for T-TEER or orthotopic TTVR. Peri-procedural optimization of right ventricular function remains critical to promote both device success and patient outcomes. SUMMARY Clinical outcomes after surgical TV intervention are poor, often due to intervening late in the disease course of TR. TTVI covers a treatment gap for patients deemed inoperable or high-surgical-risk, but earlier referral for TV interventions is still important prior to patients developing multiorgan dysfunction from chronic untreated TR.

Unmet Needs in the Assessment of Right Ventricular Function for Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2885. [PMID: 37761251 PMCID: PMC10529663 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13182885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a highly prevalent valvular heart disease that has been long overlooked, but lately its independent association with adverse cardiovascular outcomes was recognized. The time point to intervene and repair the tricuspid valve is defined by the right ventricular (RV) dilation and dysfunction that comes up at a later stage. While guidelines favor tricuspid valve repair before severe RV dysfunction ensues, the definition of RV dysfunction in a universal manner remains vague. As a result, the candidates for transcatheter or surgical TR procedures are often referred late, when advanced RV dysfunction is established, and any derived procedural survival benefit is attenuated. Thus, it is of paramount importance to establish a universal means of RV function assessment in patients with TR. Conventional echocardiographic indices of RV function routinely applied have fundamental flaws that limit the precise characterization of RV performance. More recently, novel echocardiographic indices such as strain via speckle-tracking have emerged, demonstrating promising results in the identification of early RV damage. Additionally, evidence of the role of alternative imaging modalities such as cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance, for RV functional assessment in TR, has recently arisen. This review provides a systematic appraisal of traditional and novel multimodality indices of RV function in severe TR and aims to refine RV function assessment, designate future directions, and ultimately, to improve the outcome of patients suffering from severe TR.

Outcomes of minimally invasive isolated tricuspid valve reoperation after left-side valve surgery: A single-center experience. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1033489. [PMID: 36818352 PMCID: PMC9928847 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1033489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Late severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after left-side valve surgery (LSVS) is not uncommon. However, the tricuspid valve has been deemed the forgotten valve because the isolated TR is well tolerated with medication, and reoperation has a higher rate of adverse events. With the advancement of minimally invasive techniques, isolated tricuspid valve reoperation (ITVR) via totally endoscopy or transcatheter approach brings the tricuspid valve into spotlight. Our aim is to report the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive ITVR using endoscopic and transcatheter approaches. METHODS From October 2020 to October 2021, 21 patients with LSVS history and secondary massive TR underwent minimally invasive ITVR in our institution. Baseline characteristics, surgical outcomes and follow-up results were analyzed, and data between the totally endoscopy approach and the transcatheter approach were compared. RESULTS Of the 21 cases, totally endoscopic isolated tricuspid valve surgery (EITVS) accounts for 16 (76.2%) cases, with 14 tricuspid valvuloplasty cases, and 2 tricuspid valve replacement cases; the remaining 5 (23.8%) cases underwent transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR). The mean age was (60.0 ± 8.4) years, with 15 (71.4%) being female. Minimally invasive ITVR procedures were 100% successfully performed in all patients without any perioperative mortality, sternotomy conversion, or reoperation. During the median follow-up of 16.8 months (IQR, 13.0-20.6 months), New York Heart Association Class improved significantly from baseline (P = 0.004). TR severity was significantly improved during postoperative and follow-up period (both P < 0.001). Compared with the EITVS group, the TTVR group had a higher clinical risk score [8.00 (8.00, 9.00) vs. 5.00 (3.25, 5.00), P = 0.001], but a higher success rate in reducing TR to less than grade 1+ (100 vs. 43.8%, P = 0.045) at follow-up. CONCLUSION In our series, minimally invasive ITVR, including EITVS and TTVR, is a safe and feasible option for severe TR after LSVS, and presents excellent early outcomes in selected patients. TTVR is a reliable alternative for patients with high surgical risk. To improve the results of ITVR, it is necessary to improve patient's preoperative status or perform reoperation before the onset of significant right heart failure. Further studies with a larger sample size and a longer follow-up period are awaited.

Longitudinal change in postoperative right ventricular systolic function in patients undergoing surgery for isolated tricuspid regurgitation. AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL PLUS : CARDIOLOGY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE 2021; 12:100073.

Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an indication for tricuspid valve (TV) surgery in patients with severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Postoperative RV dysfunction is associated with poor outcome; however, the longitudinal changes in RV function before and after surgery have not been established. We retrospectively analyzed 24 patients who underwent TV surgery for isolated severe TR. For assessing RV systolic function, we measured the RV fractional area change (RVFAC) at baseline, and 1 (immediate) and 4-20 (late) months after surgery. We divided patients into 2 groups according to the RVFAC late after surgery (<35%, post-op. reduced; and ≥35%, post-op. preserved). The mean RVFAC was significantly decreased immediately after surgery compared to baseline (41.5 ± 10.1% vs. 32.2 ± 9.6%; p < 0.001). The RVFAC reduction was still observed late after surgery (35.5 ± 7.4%; p = 0.002). Of 24 patients, 12 patients (50%) had preserved RV systolic function late after surgery. Although there was no significant difference in the preoperative RVFAC between the 2 groups, the preoperative RV end-systolic area (RVESA) /body surface area (BSA) was significantly less in the post-op. preserved RV systolic function group (13.8 ± 4.3 cm2/m2 vs. 8.6 ± 2.6 cm2/m2; p = 0.001). The optimal cut-off value for the preoperative RVESA/BSA in detecting postoperative preserved RV systolic function was 10.8 cm2/m2 (AUC, 0.85; sensitivity, 91.7%; and specificity, 75.0%). In patients undergoing surgery for isolated severe TR, the RVFAC was significantly decreased immediately after surgery and the reduction continued late after surgery. The preoperative RVESA/BSA might be helpful to predict preserved RV function after surgery.

Abstract
Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII, platelet × neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) has recently been identified as an inflammatory marker. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic implications of preoperative SII in patients undergoing isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery. In total, 213 patients who underwent isolated TV surgery between January 2000 and December 2018 were enrolled. They were divided into two groups, as follows: low SII (<455.6 × 109/L), and high SII (≥455.6 × 109/L). The correlation between SII and clinical outcomes was analyzed via the Cox regression and the Kaplan-Meier analyses. The primary outcomes considered were all-cause mortality and major postoperative complications within a 30-day period after isolated TV surgery, including major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events, pulmonary and renal complications, stroke, sepsis, multi-organ failure, wound, and gastrointestinal complications. In total, 82 (38.5%) patients experienced postoperative complications. Multivariable analyses revealed that high preoperative SII values were independently associated with the major 30-day postoperative complications (hazard ratio 3.58, 95% confidence interval 1.62-7.95, p = 0.001). Additionally, Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the probability of undergoing major 30-day postoperative complications was significantly elevated in patients with high versus low SII values (p < 0.001). These results indicate that SII, a readily available parameter, is significantly associated with poor outcomes in patients undergoing isolated TV surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this registry was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation (TTVI) in patients with extreme surgical risk. BACKGROUND Isolated tricuspid regurgitation (TR) surgery is associated with high in-hospital mortality. METHODS Thirty consecutive patients (mean age 75 ± 10 years; 56% women) from 10 institutions, with symptomatic functional TR, had institutional and notified body approval for compassionate use of the GATE TTVI system. Baseline, discharge, and 30-day follow-up echocardiographic data and procedural, in-hospital, and follow-up clinical outcomes were collected. RESULTS At baseline, all patients had multiple comorbidities, severe or greater TR, and reduced baseline right ventricular function. Technical success was achieved in 26 of 30 patients (87%). Device malpositioning occurred in 4 patients, with conversion to open heart surgery in 2 (5%). Of those who received the device, 100% had reductions in TR of ≥1, and 75% experienced reductions of ≥2 grades, resulting in 18 of 24 of patients (76%) with mild or less TR at discharge. All patients had mild or less central TR. There was continued improvement in TR grade between discharge and 30 days in 15 of 19 patients (79%). In-hospital mortality was 10%. At mean follow-up of 127 ± 82 days, 4 patients (13%) had died. Of patients alive at follow-up, 62% were in New York Heart Association functional class I or II, with no late device-related adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Compassionate treatment of severe, symptomatic functional TR using a first-generation TTVI device is associated with significant reduction in TR and improvement in functional status with acceptable in-hospital mortality. Further studies are needed to determine the appropriate patient population and long-term outcomes with TTVI therapy.

Early right ventricular reverse remodeling predicts survival after isolated tricuspid valve surgery. Ann Thorac Surg 2021; 112:1402-1409. [PMID: 33711306 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.02.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Revised: 02/11/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data on the impact of isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery on recovery of right ventricular (RV) function and RV reverse remodeling. METHODS Among 223 patients who had isolated TV procedures between 2001 and 2017, 60 (27%) underwent TV repair and 163 (73%) received TV replacement. Indication for surgery was functional TR in 64%, lead induced in 18%, and primary leaflet dysfunction in 18%. RV reverse remodeling was assessed by echocardiography at a median of 11.3 months (IQR 5.9-13.5) post-dismissal. RESULTS Mean age was 67.3±13.7 years, and 57% were female. Overall 30-day mortality was 2.7%. After a median follow-up period of 9.5 years (IQR 3.6-12.9), adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed comparable survival for TV repair and replacement and identified older age, and presence of RV dysfunction (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.14-2.98; P=0.01) as independent predictors of poor survival. Patients who exhibited RV reverse remodeling within 18 months postoperatively had significantly improved survival compared to those who did not (Log-Rank P=0.005), and reverse remodeling was independently associated with improved survival (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.24-0.74; P=0.003). Lower preoperative right atrial pressure (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.94; P=0.004) was predictive of early RV reverse remodeling. CONCLUSIONS Isolated TV surgery can be performed with acceptable outcomes (early mortality 2.7%), and overall survival is best in patients who receive the operation before developing RV systolic dysfunction. Adjusted survival was similar for patients undergoing TV repair or replacement. Early reverse remodeling of RV after surgery is associated with survival benefit.

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion inaccuracy to assess right ventricular function in patients with previous tricuspid annulopasty. Int J Cardiol 2016; 223:713-716.

Abstract
OBJETIVES The clinical and prognostic usefulness of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is well established. However, the ability of TAPSE to assess right ventricular (RV) function in patients with previous tricuspid valve annulopasty is controversial. This study examined the TAPSE suitability in patients with previous tricuspid valve annuloplasty using right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) as reference method. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients who underwent tricuspid valve annuloplasty at our hospital between 2013 and 2016. TAPSE and RVFAC were obtained in preoperative and postoperative periods using standard methodology. RESULTS Mean age was 68±12years and 34 patients (64.1%) were women. TAPSE decreased significantly after surgery in comparison with pre-surgical values (17±4.2 Vs 12.9±4.1mm, p<0.001). On the contrary, RVFAC did not change significantly after surgery (37±9.2 Vs 36.2.9, p=0.25). The correlation between RVFAC and TAPSE was better in the preoperative (r=0.63, p<0.0001) than in the postoperative period (r=0.38, P=0.005). Good intra- and interobserver agreement for TAPSE and RVFAC was obtained, with intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.97 and 0.92 for TAPSE; and 0.90 and 0.85 for RVFAC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that TAPSE is not suitable after tricuspid valve annuloplasty and it leads to an underestimation of RV systolic function. It seems to be appropriate to rely on echocardiographic parameters of global RV function such as RVFAC in this context.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subjective clinical improvement does not always go hand-in-hand with right ventricular (RV) reverse remodeling after surgery for isolated severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). This study aimed to evaluate the level of agreement between clinical improvement and echocardiographic RV reverse remodeling, and determine the relative prognostic powers of these 2 factors in terms of long-term prognosis for patients with isolated TR surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-one consecutive patients (58±8 years) were included. During a median follow up of 55 months (IQR, 36.5∼71.5 months), a composite endpoint including death and admission for right heart failure was investigated. Extents of reductions in RV end-systolic area (RV-ESA) and subjective clinical improvement at 6 months were examined. There were 6 deaths and 5 admissions for right heart failure. A reduction in RV-ESA of >20% effectively predicted event-free survival, with a sensitivity of 90.9% and a specificity of 72.0% (AUC 0.81, P=0.001). With this cut-off, the agreement between a clinical and echocardiographic response was only 57.4% (35 patients). On Cox regression analysis, RV-ESA change emerged as the only independent predictor of event-free survival, whereas subjective clinical improvement did not. CONCLUSIONS A discrepancy between subjective and echocardiographic improvement at 6 months after isolated TR surgery was observed in 42.6% of the patients. Echocardiographic RV reverse remodeling, but not subjective clinical amelioration, was a strong prognosticator after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Isolated tricuspid valve surgery is not commonly performed with few studies and limited numbers published. We reviewed the characteristics and outcomes, including survival, reoperation rates and their predictors of different types of isolated tricuspid surgery. METHODS Patients coded for isolated tricuspid valve surgery were identified from the Green Lane Hospital database. Relevant clinical characteristics were collected from both clinical and written clinical records. Mortality was checked against the national 'Births, Deaths and Marriages' database from the Ministry of Health. RESULTS Seventy-two consecutive patients (48 ± 16 years; 71% women, body mass index 25 ± 6) underwent isolated tricuspid valve surgery from 1965 to 2011. Valve repair was performed in 53 and 47% had a valve replacement. The majority of these operations were performed in the last two decades. Early mortality within 30 days of operation was 7.9% for repair and 17.6% for replacement (P = 0.29). The 1-, 5-, 10- and 25-year survival rates were 83.8, 74.5, 63.6 and 32.8% for tricuspid repair and 81.8, 68.2, 61.4 and 15.2% for tricuspid replacement, respectively. Preoperative loop diuretic dose (P = 0.0120) and preoperative haemoglobin level (P = 0.0377) were independent predictors of survival for all isolated tricuspid surgery, while preoperative creatinine level (P = 0.04) independently predicted reoperation during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Both isolated tricuspid replacement and repair were associated with significant but acceptable early and late mortality with no statistically significant difference in cumulative survival. Preoperative loop diuretic dose, haemoglobin and creatinine are individually associated with survival and/or reoperation after isolated tricuspid valve surgery.

Abstract
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has long been neglected based on the false belief that it is substantially rare in prevalence and is not so important in determining prognosis. Recent consecutive publications refuted this concept surrounding TR, and now we are contemplating this entity from different point of view. In this review, we mainly focus on isolated form of severe TR. In our daily clinical practice, however, patients with problems in more than one valve are more frequently encountered. Hence, we briefly touch on the results of severe TR surgery with or without left side valve operations here and there, as well.

Abstract
Functional or secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) is the most frequent etiology of tricuspid valve pathology in Western countries. Surgical tricuspid repair has been avoided for years, because of the misconception that tricuspid regurgitation should disappear once the primary left-sided problem is treated; this results in a large number of untreated patients with STR. Over the past few years, many investigators have reported evidence in favor of a more aggressive surgical approach to STR. Consequently, interest has been growing in the physiopathology and treatment of STR. The purpose of this review is to explore the anatomical basis, pathophysiology, therapeutic approach, and future perspectives with regard to the management of STR.
