Efficacy observation of perioperative prognosis in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement
Journal Title: Journal of Air Force Medical University - Year 2023, Vol 44, Issue 8
Abstract
Objective To investigate the perioperative prognostic effect of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation ( TR) . Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with severe / extremely severe TR at high surgical risk in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University from September 2020 to August 2022. Under general anesthesia, all patients underwent a transatrial surgical approach, with intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and X-ray guided implantation of LuX-Valve. The clinical data of patients before surgery, before discharge and 6 months after surgery were collected and analyzed. Results LuX-Valve was successfully implanted in all the 10 patients. The operation time was 140. 0 (120. 0, 172. 5) min, and the ICU stay time was 3. 0 (2. 0, 3. 5) d. After implantation, 9 patients had no or minimal paravalvular leakage, 1 patient had mild perivalvular leakage, and no other perioperative complications occurred in all patients. The results of 6-month follow-up showed that the number of patients with New York Heart Association functional Class II was higher than that before surgery (8 vs 0, P < 0. 01), and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was significantly improved [16. 4 (14. 1, 18. 0) mm vs 12. 5 (11. 5, 15. 0) mm, P < 0. 01]. In addition, the 6-min walking distance of all patients [360. 0 (315. 0, 390. 0) m vs 212. 5 (165. 0, 255. 0) m] and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score [62 (60, 65) points vs 31 (27, 37) points] were significantly higher than those before surgery (P < 0. 01). Conclusion This study preliminarily confirms that the use of LuX-Valve for TTVR in patients with severe TR is a feasible and relatively safe approach, with reliable clinical outcomes. However, due to the difficulty of the surgery, intensive observation and close monitoring are required.
