Mitral Valve Repair for Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation (MR) With Moderate or Less Tricuspid Regurgitation: 2-Year Outcomes From a Multicenter Echocardiographic Core Laboratory-Adjudicated Cohort
Authors' conclusion
In this international trial with echocardiographic core laboratory adjudication, the rate of survival free from MV reoperation or any episode of severe MR during 2 years was 92% in patients with DMR and concomitant TV disease.
