Right versus left heart reverse remodelling after treating ischaemic mitral and tricuspid regurgitation

Repair outcomes of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) associated with ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) are inferior to functional TR in terms of TR recurrence and right ventricular (RV) reverse remodelling. Our objective is to analyse right versus left heart reverse remodelling after surgery for IMR-associated TR.From 2001 to 2011, 568 patients with severe IMR underwent mitral valve surgery (repair 87%, replacement 13%), and 131 had concomitant...
