OBJECTIVES Data on the impact and course of uncorrected tricuspid regurgitation (TR)
during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation are scarce and inconsistent. This …

Background The optimal management of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients undergoing
left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is controversial. This study was undertaken …

Background The progression of tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) and the impact of
preoperative TR on postoperative outcomes in patients having left ventricular assist device …

BACKGROUND: Almost 50% of patients referred for implantable left ventricular assist device
(LVAD) have significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Preoperative TR is associated with …

OBJECTIVES Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common in patients receiving a left ventricular
assist device (LVAD). Controversy exists as to whether concomitant tricuspid valve surgery …

Purpose Tricuspid regurgitation contributes to right ventricular failure (RVF) and is
associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device …

Objective Patients evaluated for a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device frequently
present with severe right ventricular dysfunction with tricuspid regurgitation. Long-term …

Background Study findings have been inconsistent regarding whether a concomitant
tricuspid valve replacement or repair performed concurrently with continuous‐flow left …
