AIMS: Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common in patients with right-sided heart failure (HF) and causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Treatment options beyond medical therapy are limited for high-risk patients. Transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve (TV) repair showed procedural safety and short-term efficacy. Impact on mid-term outcome is unclear. This dual-centre observational study evaluates the mid-term safety, efficacy and clinical outcome after edge-to-edge TV repair for severe TR in patients with HF. METHODS AND RESULTS: Overall, 50 patients with right-sided HF and severe TR were treated with the transcatheter edge-to-edge repair technique; 14 patients were treated for isolated TR and 36 patients for combined mitral regurgitation (MR) and TR. At 6-month follow-up (available for 98% of patients), a persistent reduction of at least one echocardiographic TR grade was achieved in 90% of patients and New York Heart Association class improved in 79% of patients. The 6-minute walk distance increased by 44% (+84 m, P < 0.001), the median N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide decreased by 30% (from 3625 to 2526 pg/mL, P = 0.002), and the quality of life score improved by 16% (decrease of 6 points in the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score, P = 0.056). The improvements were comparable in patients undergoing isolated TR or combined MR and TR treatment. During follow-up, 8 patients died, 14 were hospitalized for worsening of HF, 2 underwent TV surgery, and 2 received a second TV clip procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Transcatheter edge-to-edge TV repair for severe TR is safe and effective in reducing TR. It appears to be associated with improved clinical outcome in the majority of patients.
目的:重度三尖瓣反流(TR)在右心衰竭(HF)患者中较为常见,并导致较高的发病率和死亡率。对于高危患者,除了药物治疗之外,治疗选择有限。经导管缘对缘三尖瓣修复术显示出程序安全性和短期疗效。其对中期结果的影响尚不清楚。这项双中心观察性研究评估了经导管缘对缘三尖瓣修复术治疗 HF 患者重度 TR 的中期安全性、疗效和临床结果。
方法和结果:总体而言,50 例右心 HF 伴重度 TR 的患者接受了经导管缘对缘修复技术治疗;14 例患者为单纯 TR,36 例患者为合并二尖瓣反流(MR)和 TR。在 6 个月的随访(98%的患者可获得)中,90%的患者至少有一个超声心动图 TR 分级持续降低,79%的患者纽约心脏协会(NYHA)心功能分级改善。6 分钟步行距离增加了 44%(增加了 84m,P<0.001),中位 N 末端脑利钠肽前体(NT-proBNP)降低了 30%(从 3625 降至 2526pg/ml,P=0.002),生活质量评分改善了 16%(明尼苏达州心力衰竭生活质量问卷评分降低了 6 分,P=0.056)。在接受单纯 TR 或合并 MR 和 TR 治疗的患者中,这些改善是相似的。在随访期间,8 例患者死亡,14 例因 HF 恶化住院,2 例接受了 TV 手术,2 例接受了第二次 TV 夹闭术。
结论:经导管缘对缘三尖瓣修复术治疗重度 TR 是安全有效的,可降低 TR 严重程度。它似乎与大多数患者的临床结果改善相关。
