RESULTS
Preoperative and operative data are summarized in the table 1. At
discharge, all patients received optimal medical treatment.
Sensitivity and specificity of TV cutoffs for TR recurrence were 66%
and 88% for tricuspid annulus≥35mm, 83% and 42% for CD≥6.5mm, and
81% and 34% for tenting area≥0.85cm2)
Five-year freedom from TR recurrence was 74±3%, significantly lower in
patients with residual TR (41±8% vs 81±3%, p<0.001).
