An optimal procedural result after TEER might be associated with improved outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in 15 Spanish centres, June 2020–May 2023
- Participants
- 280 patients
- Exposure
- Residual tricuspid regurgitation (TR) 0/1+ vs 2+ vs ≥3+ after tricuspid TEER
- TR 0/1+n = 120reference
- TR 2+n = 111
- TR ≥3+n = 49
- Outcome
- Composite of:
- All-cause death
- HF hospitalisation
- Tricuspid reintervention
- Follow-up
- 1 year

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Hazard ratio
2.277
P = 0.044
By group
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Secondary outcomes
NYHA class I or II and sustained TR reduction
- Higher rates in TR 0/1+
- P < 0.001
Predictors of achieving TR 0/1+
- Small coaptation gap and absence of septal leaflet tethering were independent predictors
