BACKGROUND: Right-sided heart failure (HF) due to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with reduced quality of life (QoL). Here, we analyzed the impact of TR on specific QoL dimensions and the effect of transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) on individual QoL items. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, we included 174 patients with HF (49% women; median age, 79 years; 97% New York Heart Association ≥3) with baseline QoL assessment undergoing TTVI by transcatheter edge-to-edge-repair at our center between April 2016 and March 2022. QoL was assessed by the standardized Minnesota Living With HF Questionnaire. QoL change after TTVI and correlation to functional end points were analyzed. In addition, all QoL domains and the 21 individual items of the Minnesota Living With HF Questionnaire were analyzed. TTVI significantly reduced TR (TR ≥3: baseline 95%, 1-year-follow-up 7%; P<0.001). Total Minnesota Living with HF Questionnaire score improved from 37 (interquartile range, 26-50) points to 31 (interquartile range, 17-42) points (median follow-up-interval, 355 days; P<0.001). QoL improvement was associated with positive New York Heart Association class, 6-minute walking distance, and actigraphy changes (all P<0.05). The detailed analysis revealed that all items of the physical-related QoL dimension were impaired at baseline and strongly improved after TTVI. In contrast, the emotional and "social" Minnesota Living With HF Questionnaire dimensions were largely unaffected at baseline, yet specific items improved with TTVI. CONCLUSIONS: In this single-center study, we delineate the QoL-associated disease burden of TR and identify specific QoL items that improved after TTVI. Our findings support TTVI in patients with reduced QoL and may add to the development of specific tools assessing the functional status of an increasing patient population undergoing TTVI.

Severe systemic right ventricular failure with tricuspid regurgitation is associated with poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of 49-year-old patient who experienced severe systemic right ventricular failure following atrial switch. We chose the surgical strategy for this challenging case using comprehensive four-dimensional imaging. The patient underwent tricuspid valve repair and cardiac resynchronization therapy and recovered with improved cardiac function and regulated tricuspid valve regurgitation.

BACKGROUND: Data on procedural and early outcomes after transjugular transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) are limited. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate first-in-man procedural and clinical outcomes after transjugular TTVR with a special focus on patients who received large device sizes in whom TTVR outcomes have been questioned. METHODS: The retrospective registry included patients who underwent TTVR using the LuX-Valve Plus system (Jenscare Biotechnology Co Ltd) for symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) from January 2022 until February 2024 at 15 international centers in a compassionate use setting. The endpoints were procedural TR reduction, in-hospital death, adverse events, and 1-month survival. We further stratified results according to the size of the implanted device (<55 vs ≥55 mm). RESULTS: The registry included a total of 76 patients at a median age of 78 years (Q1-Q3: 72-83 years, 47.4% women). TR was reduced to ≤2+ and ≤1+ in 94.7% and 90.8% of patients (75.0% of patients received TTVR devices ≥55 mm) with well-sustained results at 1-month follow-up (TR ≤2+ in 95.0% and ≤1+ 86.8%). Residual TR was paravalvular in all cases. In-hospital death occurred in 4 patients (5.3%). Four patients (5.3%) underwent cardiac surgery during index hospitalization. Major in-hospital bleeding events occurred in 5 patients (6.6%). New in-hospital pacemaker implantation was required in 3.9% of patients in the overall cohort (5.7% in "pacemaker-naive" individuals). No cases of valve thrombosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, or pulmonary embolism were observed. At 1-month follow-up, survival was 94.4%, and NYHA functional class significantly improved. One further patient received a pacemaker, 1 further bleeding event occurred, and 2 patients underwent reintervention or surgery within the first 30 days after TTVR. No differences in procedural outcomes or adverse events were observed after stratification for valve size. CONCLUSIONS: Transjugular TTVR appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with severe TR with comparable outcomes in very large tricuspid anatomies.

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with worse clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER), but little is known about its association with health status outcomes. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to explore, using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and American College of Cardiology TVT (Transcatheter Valve Therapy) Registry, the association between baseline TR and health status after TAVR and M-TEER and to determine if baseline TR was associated with clinical endpoints. METHODS: Health status was assessed using Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary (KCCQ-OS) score in patients enrolled in the TVT Registry who underwent isolated TAVR or M-TEER between January 2019 and June 2021. The association among baseline TR and KCCQ-OS score, being alive and well, and clinical outcomes was examined. RESULTS: In total, 130,097 TAVR patients (13.1% with moderate TR, 2.3% with severe TR) and 19,593 M-TEER patients (33.2% with moderate TR, 14.7% with severe TR) were included. Mean KCCQ-OS scores were lower with severe vs moderate vs none to mild TR at baseline prior to TAVR (39.4 ± 24.2 vs 45.2 ± 24.7 vs 51.3 ± 25.3; P < 0.01) or M-TEER (38.1 ± 23.9 vs 41.9 ± 24.7 vs 45.4 ± 25.2; P < 0.01) and similarly at 30 days and 1 year. The odds of being alive and well at 1 year were lower with moderate or severe TR before TAVR (adjusted OR: 0.79 [95% CI: 0.74-0.85] and adjusted OR: 0.81 [95% CI: 0.70-0.94], respectively) and severe TR before M-TEER (adjusted OR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.40-0.71). Furthermore, moderate or severe TR before TAVR was associated with higher 1-year mortality and readmission, whereas moderate or severe TR before M-TEER was associated with higher 1-year mortality. CONCLUSIONS: In a large cohort of U.S. patients who underwent TAVR or M-TEER, greater baseline TR was associated with worse health status and clinical outcomes. Understanding adverse outcomes of TR in patients with coexisting valvular abnormalities is important, especially with rapidly evolving transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions.

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is highly prevalent in the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) population, but clear management guidelines are lacking. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to elucidate the prevalence and consequences of severe TR in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR and to examine the change in TR post-TAVR, including predictors of improvement and its impact on longer term mortality. METHODS: Using Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-linked TVT (Transcatheter Valve Therapy) Registry data, a propensity-matched analysis was performed among patients undergoing TAVR with baseline mild, moderate, or severe TR. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to assess the impact of TR on 3-year mortality. Multivariable analysis identified predictors of 30-day TR improvement. RESULTS: Of the 312,320 included patients, 84% had mild, 13% moderate, and 3% severe TR. In a propensity-matched cohort, severe baseline TR was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (2.5% vs 2.1% for moderate TR and 1.8% for mild TR; P = 0.009), higher 1-year mortality (24% vs 19.6% for moderate TR and 16.6% for mild TR; P < 0.0001), and 3-year mortality (54.2% vs 48.5% for moderate TR and 43.3% for mild TR; P < 0.0001). Among the patients with severe TR at baseline, 76.4% improved to moderate or less TR 30 days after TAVR. Baseline mitral regurgitation moderate or greater, preserved ejection fraction, higher aortic valve gradient, and better kidney function predicted TR improvement after TAVR. However, severe 30-day residual TR was associated with higher 1-year mortality (27.4% vs 18.7% for moderate TR and 16.8% for mild TR; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Severe baseline and 30-day residual TR after TAVR are associated with increased mortality up to 3 years. This analysis identifies a higher risk group that could be evaluated for the recently approved tricuspid interventions.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review addresses treatment options for moderate to severe tricuspid valve regurgitation and the importance of right ventricular function and the pulmonary circulation. RECENT FINDINGS: Several interventional treatment options for severe tricuspid regurgitation have been developed including transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, annuloplasty and valve replacement. So far, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is most frequently used with procedural success rates of more than 95% and improvements in functional and quality of life parameters for up to 2âyears. Right ventricular function as well as pulmonary artery pressure and resistance levels are important outcome predictors. Mean pulmonary artery pressure more than 30âmmHg, transpulmonary gradient more than 17âmmHg and right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling ratio less than 0.406 indicate poor outcome. SUMMARY: Despite the remarkable safety of interventional treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation right ventricular dysfunction and abnormal pulmonary hemodynamics are important determinants of procedural success and clinical outcome.Complete hemodynamic work-up should be an integral part of prerepair assessment although validated data predicting outcome are limited.

BACKGROUND: In heart failure, the capacity of the lymphatic system dictates symptoms of circulatory congestion. This study aimed at describing structural and functional changes of the lymphatic system in patients with chronic right-sided heart failure. METHODS: Individuals with long-standing severe tricuspid valve regurgitation and symptoms of heart failure were compared with age- gender- and weight-matched controls. Lymphatic structure and function were examined using non-contrast MR lymphangiography and near-infrared fluorescence imaging. Microvascular fluid dynamics and distribution were evaluated using strain gauge plethysmography and bio-impedance. RESULTS: In total nine patients and nine controls were included. Lymphatic morphology was unchanged in cases compared to controls with similar thoracic duct diameters 3.1(2.1-3.5) mm vs. 2.0(1.8-2.4) mm (p-value = 0.11), similar lymphatic classifications (p-value 0.34), and an identical number of lymphatic vessels in the legs 6 ± 1 vs. 6 ± 3 vessels/field (p-value = 0.72). Lymphatic function was comparable with contraction frequencies of 0.5 ± 0.2 and 0.5 ± 0.3 /min (p-value = 0.52) and a maximal lymphatic pumping pressure of 60 ± 13 and 57 ± 12 mmHg (p-value = 0.59) for cases and controls respectively. Finally, microvascular capillary filtration, isovolumetric threshold, and fluid distribution were similar between groups (p-value≥0.16 for all comparisons). CONCLUSION: In this small exploratory study, individuals with severe secondary tricuspid valve regurgitation and right-sided heart failure displayed a largely similar lymphatic anatomy and function. Thoracic duct diameter displayed a trend towards increased size in the patient group. We speculate that cases were indeed stable and optimally treated at the time of examination, and with a lymphatic system largely unaffected by any of the current or prior hemodynamic changes.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Incidence and types of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are not well defined in atrial fibrillation (AFib) and sinus rhythm (SR). Atrial secondary TR (A-STR) is associated with pre-existing AFib; however, close to 50% of patients with A-STR do not have AFib. The aim of this study was to assess incidence, types, and outcomes of ≥ moderate TR in AFib vs. SR. METHODS: Adults with and without new-onset AFib without structural heart disease or ≥ moderate TR at baseline were followed for the development of ≥ moderate TR. Tricuspid regurgitation types were pacemaker, left-sided valve disease, left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension (PH), isolated ventricular, and A-STR. RESULTS: Among 1359 patients with AFib and 20 438 in SR, 109 and 378 patients developed ≥ moderate TR, respectively. The individual types of TR occurred more frequently in AFib related to the higher pacemaker implantation rates (1.12 vs. 0.19 per 100 person-years, P < .001), larger right atrial size (median 78 vs. 53â mL, P < .001), and higher pulmonary pressures (median 30 vs. 28â mmHg, P < .001). The most common TR types irrespective of rhythm were LV dysfunction-TR and A-STR. Among patients in SR, those with A-STR were older, predominantly women with more diastolic abnormalities and higher pulmonary pressures. All types of secondary TR were associated with all-cause mortality, highest in PH-TR and LV dysfunction-TR. CONCLUSIONS: New-onset AFib vs. SR conferred a higher risk of the individual TR types related to sequelae of AFib and higher pacemaker implantation rates, although the distribution of TR types was similar. Secondary TR was universally associated with increased mortality.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Important risk factors for the development of HFpEF are similar to risk factors for the progression of tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and both conditions frequently coexist and thus is a distinct phenotype or a marker for advanced HF. Many patients with severe, symptomatic atrial secondary TR have been enrolled in current transcatheter device trials, and may represent patients at an advanced stage of HFpEF. Management of HFpEF thus may affect the pathophysiology of TR, and the physiologic changes that occur following transcatheter treatment of TR, may also impact symptoms and outcomes in patients with HFpEF. This review discusses these issues and suggests possible management strategies for these patients.

BACKGROUND: Interventional valve implantation into the inferior vena cava (CAVI) lowers venous congestion in patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR). We evaluated the impact of a reduction of abdominal venous congestion following CAVI on circulating immune cells and inflammatory mediators. METHODS: Patients with severe TR were randomized to optimal medical therapy (OMT) + CAVI (n = 8) or OMT (n = 10). In the OMT + CAVI group, an Edwards Sapien XT valve was implanted into the inferior vena cava. Immune cells and inflammatory mediators were measured in the peripheral blood at baseline and three-month follow-up. RESULTS: Leukocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, B, T and natural killer cells and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, interferon-gamma, interleukin-2, -4, -5, -10, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) did not change substantially between baseline and three-month follow-up within the OMT + CAVI and OMT group. CONCLUSION: The present data suggest that reduction of venous congestion following OMT + CAVI may not lead to substantial changes in systemic inflammation within a short-term follow-up. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT02387697.

Tricuspid insufficiency has long been considered an entity with low prognostic importance and associated with symptoms and signs only secondarily to left heart pathology. Scientific research in recent years has debunked this myth, demonstrating a key role in determining symptoms and signs of right heart failure, even in advanced stages. In parallel, advances in transcatheter technologies have opened up treatment options even for patients with increased surgical risk, who were previously excluded from traditional surgical options, with increasingly convincing results in reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life of our patients. The contemporary challenge is to translate these messages into everyday clinical practice and to encourage the centralization of patients in centers that currently have the expertise for feasibility evaluation and subsequent treatment. In this Review, we will analyze the most recent evidence on the pathophysiology and diagnosis of tricuspid insufficiency, the latest recommendations from European guidelines, and we will try to illustrate the most common technologies for percutaneous treatment and the abundant evidence supporting them.

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common valvular heart disease worldwide, and current guidelines for TR treatment are relatively conservative, as well as with detrimental outcomes. Restoration of sinus rhythm was reported to improve the TR severity in those TR patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, relevant research was limited. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of restoration of sinus rhythm in TR patients with AF. METHODS: In this study, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched for study enrollment until July 2023. This study was designed under the guidance of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. These studies containing the patient's baseline characteristics, surgical procedure, and at least one of the clinical outcomes were included. The primary endpoint was TR grade during follow-up after restoration of sinus rhythm. RESULTS: Out of 1074 records, 6 were enrolled. Restoration of sinus rhythm is associated with a reduction of TR severity (TR grade, odds ratio 0.11, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.01 to 1.28, P = 0.08, I2 = 83%; TR area, mean difference (MD) -2.19 cm2, 95% CI: -4.17 to -0.21 cm2, P = 0.03, I2 = 96%). Additionally, remolding of right heart with a significant reduction of tricuspid valve annulus diameter (MD -0.36 cm, 95%CI: -0.47 to -0.26 cm, P < 0.00001, I2 = 29%) and right atrium volume index (MD -11.10 mL/m2, 95%CI: -16.81 to -5.39 mL/m2, P = 0.0001, I2 = 79%) was observed during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, rhythm-control therapy could reduce TR severity in AF patients with TR and is associated with right heart remodeling.

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is the most widely used transcatheter therapy to treat patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop a simple anatomical score to predict procedural outcomes of T-TEER. METHODS: All patients (n = 168) who underwent T-TEER between January 2017 and November 2022 at 2 centers were included in the derivation cohort. Additionally, 126 patients from 2 separate institutions served as a validation cohort. T-TEER was performed using 2 commercially available technologies. Core laboratory assessment of procedural transesophageal echocardiograms was used to determine septolateral and anteroposterior coaptation gap, leaflet morphology, septal leaflet length and retraction, chordal structure density, tethering height, en face TR jet morphology and TR jet location, image quality, and the presence of intracardiac leads. A scoring system was derived using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Endpoints assessed were immediate postprocedural TR reduction ≥2 grades and TR grade moderate or less. RESULTS: The median age was 82 years (Q1-Q3: 78-84 years); 48% of patients were women; and patients presented with severe (55%), massive (36%), and torrential (8%) TR. Five variables (septolateral coaptation gap, chordal structure density, en face TR jet morphology, TR jet location, and image quality) were identified as best predicting procedural outcome and were incorporated in the GLIDE (Gap, Location, Image quality, density, en-face TR morphology) score (range 0-5). TR reduction ≥2 grades and TR grade moderate or less were observed in >90% of patients with GLIDE scores of 0 and 1 and in only 5.6% and 16.7% of those with GLIDE scores ≥4. The GLIDE score was then externally validated in a separate cohort (area under the curve: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.69-0.86). TR reduction significantly correlated with functional improvement assessed by NYHA functional class and 6-minute walk distance at 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: The GLIDE score is a simple, 5-component score that is readily obtained during patient imaging and can predict successful T-TEER.

BACKGROUND: A novel echocardiography-based definition of atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (A-FTR) has shown superior outcomes in patients undergoing conservative treatment or tricuspid valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Its prognostic significance for transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty (TTVA) outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to investigate prognostic, clinical, and technical implications of A-FTR phenotype in patients undergoing TTVA. METHODS: This multicenter study investigated clinical and echocardiographic outcomes up to 1 year in 165 consecutive patients who underwent TTVA for A-FTR (characterized by the absence of tricuspid valve tenting, midventricular right ventricular [RV] dilatation, and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction) and nonatrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (NA-FTR). RESULTS: A total of 62 A-FTR and 103 NA-FTR patients were identified, with the latter exhibiting more pronounced RV remodeling. Compared to baseline, the tricuspid regurgitation (TR) grade at discharge was significantly reduced (P < 0.001 for both subtypes), and TR ≤II was achieved more frequently in A-FTR (85.2% vs 60.8%; P = 0.001). Baseline TR grade and A-FTR phenotype were independently associated with TR ≤II at discharge and 30 days. In multivariate analyses, A-FTR phenotype was a strong predictor (OR: 5.8; 95% CI: 2.1-16.1; P < 0.001) of TR ≤II at 30 days. At 1 year, functional class had significantly improved compared to baseline (both P < 0.001). One-year mortality was lower in A-FTR (6.5% vs 23.8%; P = 0.011) without significant differences in heart failure hospitalizations (13.3% vs 22.7%; P = 0.188). CONCLUSIONS: Direct TTVA effectively reduces TR in both A-FTR, which is a strong and independent predictor of achieving TR ≤II, and NA-FTR. Even though NA-FTR showed more RV remodeling at baseline, both phenotypes experienced similar symptomatic improvement, emphasizing the benefit of TTVA even in advanced disease stages. Additionally, phenotyping was of prognostic relevance in patients undergoing TTVA.
