Key result
Lower TAPSE/sPAP index predicts ~111% higher risk of advanced AKI after tricuspid valve surgery.
Why the study?
Tricuspid valve surgery carries a high risk of postoperative AKI, but the incidence, predictors, and the prognostic value of the TAPSE/sPAP index required evaluation.
Cohort (n=80)
No
p-value: p=0.42
Lower preoperative eGFR and higher EuroSCORE II independently predict postoperative AKI after tricuspid valve surgery, while a lower TAPSE/sPAP index may identify patients at risk for severe renal outcomes.

Lower baseline eGFR was associated with post-tricuspid surgery AKI; leaves open TAPSE/sPAP utility and prospective validation.
Tak et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Tricuspid valve surgery (n=80). TAPSE/sPAP index was evaluated on Postoperative AKI of any stage (p=0.42). While the TAPSE/sPAP index was not associated with any-stage postoperative AKI (p=0.42), lower values predicted advanced renal outcomes including KDIGO stage ≥2 AKI (OR 2.11, p=0.03).
