Functional or secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) is the most frequent etiology of
tricuspid valve pathology in Western countries. Surgical tricuspid repair has been avoided …

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with mitral valve (MV) disease is associated with poor
outcome and predicts poor survival, heart failure, and reduced functional capacity. It is …

Abstract Background: The SCOUT (Percutaneous Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty System for
Symptomatic Chronic Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation) trial is a prospective, single-arm …

After publication, dissemination of the message is of paramount importance. Publication of
executive summaries and the production of pocket-sized and PDA-downloadable versions …

BACKGROUND: Secondary tricuspid dilatation may or not be accompanied by tricuspid
regurgitation (TR). Tricuspid dilatation can be objectively measured whereas TR can vary …

Background—Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality
in heart failure. We aimed to examine the 3D geometry of the tricuspid valve annulus (TVA) …

Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is characterized by structurally normal leaflets and is
due to the deformation of the valvulo-ventricular complex. While mild FTR is frequent and …

OBJECTIVES: We hypothesize that concomitant tricuspid annuloplasty in patients with
tricuspid annular dilatation who undergo mitral valve repair could prevent progression of …

OBJECTIVE: Progression of functional tricuspid regurgitation is not uncommon after mitral
valve surgery and is associated with poor outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that …

BACKGROUND: Whether preoperative tricuspid regurgitation (TR) will regress or progress
late after surgery is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate predictors of significant …
