Isolated tricuspid valve surgery after congenital versus left heart-disease surgery: mid-term outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left heart involvement might be a differential factor in the physiopathology and prognosis of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following cardiac surgery. We aimed to compare the outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve surgery (ITVS) after congenital versus left heart-disease surgery.

Methods

We retrospectively studied and followed up 58 patients who underwent ITVS for TR following cardiac surgery in our center from January 2012 to December 2017. According to the different etiologies of TR, the participants were divided into one group of TR following surgery for congenital heart diseases (CHD) (pCHD group, n=24), and another group of TR following surgery for left heart disease (pVHD group, n=34).

Results

Compared to the pCHD group, the pVHD group presented with a more advanced age (P<0.001), higher model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score calculation (P=0.04), and higher EuroSCORE II calculation (P=0.01). In the post-operative course, the pVHD group showed a longer mechanical ventilation time (P<0.001) and longer intensive care unit stay (P=0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in in-hospital mortality (8.8% vs. 0, P=0.26), or the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (20.6% vs. 12.5%, P=0.47) at follow-up.

Conclusions

Severe TR following surgery for left heart disease is associated with higher surgical risks and a remarkable frailty as compared to that following surgery for CHDs; however, with the development of surgical techniques and peri-operative management, ITVS can be safely performed in both conditions with promising contemporary mid-term outcomes.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the incremental prognostic value of right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain over conventional risk scores in predicting the peri-operative mortality in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) undergoing isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery.MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled 110 consecutive patients with severe TR who underwent isolated TV surgery between November 2016 and July 2022 at San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy. Exclusion criteria were previous TV surgery, urgent surgery, complex congenital heart disease, active endocarditis and inadequate acoustic window. Baseline clinical data were included, as well as laboratory tests and clinical risk score, as TRI-SCORE and MELD-XI. The clinical outcome was peri-operative mortality, defined as all-cause mortality within 30 days.ResultsThe final cohort included 79 patients. The end-point occurred in 7 patients (9%), who died within 30 days after isolated TV surgery. Receiver operator characteristic curves analysis showed that, among parameters of right ventricular function, right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain was the best parameter to predict peri-operative mortality (AUC: 0.854, 95% CI 0.74-0.96, P = 0.005, sensitivity 68%, specificity 100%). At univariable analysis, left ventricular ejection fraction, diabetes mellitus, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum sodium, MELD-XI, TRI-SCORE, right ventricular areas, right ventricular global longitudinal strain, right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain, fractional area change and the ratio between right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain/pulmonary arterial systolic pressure were significantly associated with the end-point. The combination of TRI-SCORE and right ventricular Strain, evaluating right ventricular systolic function with speckle-tracking echocardiography, outperformed classic TRI-SCORE in outcome prediction (AUC 0.874 vs 0.787, P = 0.05).ConclusionsRight ventricular free wall longitudinal strain has an incremental prognostic value over conventional parameters and significantly improves the ability of clinical scores to predict peri-operative mortality in patients undergoing isolated TV surgery.
