Does the type of pulmonary hypertension (precapillary vs postcapillary) impact survival free from heart failure hospitalization in patients undergoing T-TEER for relevant TR?
In patients undergoing T-TEER for relevant tricuspid regurgitation, the specific type of pulmonary hypertension (precapillary vs postcapillary) does not significantly impact survival free from heart failure hospitalization, contrasting with previous studies.
PH is an important outcome predictor in patients undergoing T-TEER for relevant TR. In contrast to previous studies, no significant differences were observed for patients with precapillary and postcapillary PH in terms of survival free from HFH.
Stolz et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
