Post-procedural tricuspid regurgitation predicts long-term survival in patients undergoing percutaneous mitral valve repair.

CONCLUSION: Post-procedural moderate and severe TR predicts worsened long-term survival in patients undergoing PMVR and is associated with adverse clinical outcome. Whether outcome might be improved by interventional reduction of post-procedural TR has to be investigated in the future. PMID: 31239089 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
