ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) following left-sided valve surgery (LSVS) is of clinical significance due to its high recurrence and mortality rates. Transcatheter therapy presents a potential solution to address this issue.AIMS:
The study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement using the Lux-Valve system in a single center for patients with FTR after LSVS.METHODS:
From June 2020 to April 2023, 20 patients with symptomatic severe FTR after LSVS were referred to our center. A multidisciplinary cardiac team evaluated these patients for suitability for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with Lux-Valve systems. Primary efficacy and safety endpoints were immediate postoperative tricuspid regurgitation severity ≤ moderate and major adverse events during follow-up.RESULTS:
Twenty patients (average age 65.7 ± 7.4 years; 65.0% women) successfully underwent Lux-Valve system implantation after LSVS. All patients achieved ≤ moderate tricuspid regurgitation immediately after the procedure. Only one patient (5.0%) experienced a procedure-related major adverse event, leading to in-hospital mortality due to pulmonary infection. At the 6-month follow-up, 17 patients (89.5%) improved to New York Heart Association functional class I to II (p < 0.001). The overall Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score significantly improved (35.9 ± 6.7 points to 58.9 ± 5.8 points, p < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
The Lux-Valve system was found to be safe and effective for treating FTR after LSVS. It resulted in positive early outcomes, including a significant reduction in FTR, improved functional status, and enhanced quality of life, especially in high-risk patients.Palabras clave
