Impact of additional annuloplasty on tricuspid valve and cardiac functions after atrial septal defect closure in adults

ConclusionDespite TVP being associated with longer ischemic time, postoperative outcomes were comparable to ASD closure alone. Both approach demonstrated an effective decrease in TR, but TVP provided greater regression and lower incidence of persistent TR. Therefore, additional TVP should be considered in patients undergoing ASD closure with moderate ‐to‐severe TR.
