ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES:
The influence of the delay between diagnosis and surgery in severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains controversial. We aimed to analyze the association between delay to surgery and operative and mid-term mortality in patients with severe TR concomitant to left-valve surgery.METHODS:
We conducted an observational retrospective study analyzing risk factors in patients undergoing left-valve surgery concomitant with severe TR. The clinical and demographic variables were prospectively collected. The time of first diagnosis of TR was retrospectively collected.RESULTS:
A total of 253 patients were analyzed. TR was functional in 82.6%. The median latency between diagnosis and surgery was 24 months. Operative mortality was 12.2%. On multivariate analysis, higher operative mortality was associated with older age, worse preoperative NYHA functional class, triple valve surgery, hyponatremia, and anemia. The median follow-up was 35 months. Survival at 1 and 5 years was 85.2% and 73.7%, respectively. Mortality during follow-up was associated with male sex, preoperative massive TR, and longer latency between diagnosis and surgery.CONCLUSIONS:
The variables related to worse preoperative functional class were associated with increased operative mortality. Lower mid-term survival was associated with longer latency between diagnosis of severe TR and surgery, massive preoperative TR, and older age.Palabras clave
