    Abstract:
    We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of postoperative tricuspid regurgitation (TR) worsening in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) and concomitant ≤mild TR. A total of 620 patients underwent surgery for MR from 2013 to 2017. Of these, 260 had ≤mild preoperative TR and no concomitant tricuspid valve surgery and were enrolled in this single-center retrospective study. The primary endpoint was postoperative worsening of ≥moderate TR. The primary endpoint occurred in 28 of 260 patients (11%) during the follow-up period [median: 4.1 years (interquartile range: 2.9-6.1 years)]. In the multivariable analysis, age, female sex, and left atrial volume index (LAVI) were significant predictors of the primary outcome during intermediate-term follow-up (age: hazard ratio [HR] 1.05 per 1-year increment, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.10, P = 0.003; female sex: HR 3.53, 95% CI 1.61-7.72, P = 0.002; LAVI: HR 1.17 per 10-mL/m2 increment, 95% CI 1.07-1.26, P < 0.001). The optimal LAVI cut-off value for predicting postoperative TR worsening was 79 mL/m2 (area under the curve: 0.69). A high LAVI (>79 mL/m²) was significantly associated with a low rate of freedom from postoperative TR worsening compared with a low LAVI (≤79 mL/m²) (82.6% vs 93.9% at 5 years, respectively; log-rank P = 0.008). In patients with ≤mild preoperative TR and no concomitant tricuspid surgery, the rate of postoperative TR worsening was 11% during intermediate-term follow-up. LA enlargement in patients with MR and ≤mild preoperative TR was significantly associated with postoperative TR worsening.
