Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic impact and late evolution of associated tricuspid regurgitation (TR) 2/4+ after aortic valve replacement (AVR). METHODS: We evaluated 61 patients who underwent AVR between 2003 and 2012 (35 for aortic stenosis [AS], 26 for aortic regurgitation [AR]) with associated untreated TR 2/4+. Patients with concomitant mitral disease were excluded. Median follow-up was 3.2 years. Serial echocardiographic and clinical data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Mean age was 6
