Association of Baseline Tricuspid Regurgitation With Health Status and Clinical Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and Mitral TEER

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished Registry-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In a large cohort of U.S. patients who underwent TAVR or M-TEER, greater baseline TR was associated with worse health status and clinical outcomes.

Study context

Population
Patients in the TVT Registry undergoing isolated TAVR or mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER), January 2019–June 2021130,097 TAVR
Exposure
Severe vs moderate vs none-to-mild baseline tricuspid regurgitation (TR)
Outcome
Health status (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary (KCCQ-OS) score), being alive and well, and clinical outcomes by baseline TR

1-year mortality and readmission

Moderate or severe TR before TAVR associated with higher 1-year mortality and readmission
Moderate or severe TR before M-TEER associated with higher 1-year mortality
