Key result
Tricuspid valve surgery for functional tricuspid regurgitation resulted in 8.9% hospital mortality and 83% 5-year survival, with elevated right atrial pressure predicting early death (P=0.01).

Elevated right atrial pressure flags early mortality risk after tricuspid surgery; leaves open optimal timing and selection in functional TR.

What are the long-term outcomes and predictors of mortality and reoperation following tricuspid valve surgery for functional tricuspid regurgitation?
Tricuspid valve surgery for functional tricuspid regurgitation has acceptable early mortality, but earlier intervention before NYHA class IV or LVEF deterioration may improve late cardiac-related survival.
Kuwaki et al. (2001) conducted a cohort in Functional tricuspid valve regurgitation (n=260). Tricuspid valve surgery was evaluated on Hospital mortality. Tricuspid valve surgery for functional tricuspid regurgitation resulted in 8.9% hospital mortality and 83% 5-year survival, with elevated right atrial pressure predicting early death (P=0.01).
