Degree of right ventricular dysfunction dictates outcomes after tricuspid valve repair concomitant with left-side valve surgery

The effect of different degrees of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction on long-term outcomes after tricuspid valve repair is the subject of ongoing research. We sought to evaluate the effect of preoperative RV dysfunction on mortality and recurrence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after tricuspid valve repair for secondary TR concomitant with left-side valve surgery. This is a retrospective study, including 548 patients who underwent repair of...
