Tricuspid regurgitation: Frequency, clinical presentation, management and outcome among patients with severe left ‐sided valvular heart disease in Europe. Insights from the ESC‐EORP Valvular Heart Disease II survey
ConclusionIn this large international prospective survey among patients with severe left-sided VHD, moderate/severe TR was frequent in patients with mitral valve disease and was associated with a poorer outcome as TR grade increased. In patients with severe TR, compliance to guidelines for class I indications for concomitant TV surgery at the time of left-sided heart valve surgery was very good.
