Why the study?
Are preoperative right ventricular geometry dimensions and tricuspid valve tethering area associated with adverse events in patients undergoing tricuspid annuloplasty?
Are preoperative right ventricular geometry dimensions and tricuspid valve tethering area associated with adverse events in patients undergoing tricuspid annuloplasty?
Preoperative RV midcavity diameter and tricuspid valve tethering area are prognostic for adverse events in patients undergoing tricuspid annuloplasty.
RV dimensions may refine preoperative risk stratification for tricuspid annuloplasty; leaves open whether targeting them improves outcomes.
The present study demonstrates that RV geometry dimensions, namely RV midcavity diameter and tricuspid valve tethering area, are important preoperative measures associated with adverse events in patients undergoing tricuspid annuloplasty.
