Key result
Early TR progression affects ~15% of isolated mitral valve repairs, linked to older age and lower BMI.
Why the study?
Few studies have focused on the early progression of unrepaired tricuspid regurgitation after isolated mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation.
What are the changes and predictors of early progression of unrepaired tricuspid regurgitation after isolated mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation?

What are the changes and predictors of early progression of unrepaired tricuspid regurgitation after isolated mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation?
This study aims to identify predictors of early tricuspid regurgitation progression following isolated mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Objective: Although some parameters have been defined for predicting late-onset tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after mitral valve (MV) repair, few studies have focused on the early TR progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in unrepaired TR early after isolated MV repair for degenerative MR, and investigate the predictors of TR progression.

Kaya et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Degenerative mitral regurgitation (n=214). Higher age was evaluated on Early tricuspid regurgitation progression (increase in TR of at least one grade on pre-discharge echocardiography) (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.08, p=0.010). Progression of tricuspid regurgitation early after isolated mitral valve repair occurred in 15.4% of patients, with higher age (OR 1.04) and lower BMI (OR 0.88) identified as independent predictors.
