Hemodynamic Characteristics and Outcomes of Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients Undergoing Tricuspid Valve Repair or Replacement.

Journal: CJC open
Published Date: Dec 16, 2020

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on outcomes after surgical tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) and repair (TVr) is unclear. We sought to characterize PH in patients undergoing TVR/TVr, based on invasive hemodynamics and evaluate the effect of PH on mortality.
