Risk Factors for Development of Tricuspid
Regurgitation after Heart Transplantation and
Long-term Outcome of Tricuspid Valve Surgery

Background
  • Tricuspid valve regurgitation has been observed
    as a postoperative complication after orthotopic
    heart transplantation.
  • Its incidence has been reported at a rate up to
    84.
  • During the last 20 years, it has been attributed
    to biatrial anastomosis technique hence the
    bicaval anastomosis technique has been preferred
    and become routine.
  • In our experience, tricuspid regurgitation has
    remained infrequent even with biatrial
    anastomosis.

Objectives
  • This report aims to identify predisposing
    factors which promote the development of
    tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after heart
    transplantation.
  • Likewise, it aims to evaluate outcomes of
    tricuspid valve surgery for post-transplant TR.

Patient Selection
Between 1986 and 2013 1804 heart
transplantations on 1748 patients
1552 heart transplantation performed with
biatrial anastomosis 252 heart transplantations
with bicaval anastomosis
86 patients developed TR III/IV
55 patients medically managed successfully
31 patients underwent TV surgery All had heart
transplantation with biatrial technique
1 patient was lost to follow-up
  • Group II Control
  • 30 patients matched for
  • Underlying disease
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Anastomosis
  • Transplantation date
  • TR 1

Clinical status
  • Signs of right heart failure

Data of 30 patients who underwent tricuspid valve
surgery
  • TR III-IV was diagnosed at a median of 6.86
    (0.3-20.9) years after heart transplantation.
  • Tricuspid valve surgery was performed at a median
    of 1.64 (0-15.6) years after diagnosis.

9
Operative data of 30 patients who underwent
tricuspid valve surgery
  • Leaflet and chordal damage were found in 25/30
    patients (1 with TV endocarditis)
  • Annular dilatation/distortion in 5/30
  • Concomitant procedures
  • coronary bypass graft (n6)
  • pulmonary lobe resection (n2)
  • coronary fistula closure (n2)
  • VSD closure (n1)
  • Mitral valve replacement (n1)

Tricuspid valve surgery
  • Mechanical valve replacement in 8/30
  • Xenograft valve replacement in 7/30
  • Reconstruction in 15/30
  • Modified deVega annuloplasty 8
  • Double orifice valve 3
  • Kay Wooler annuloplasty 1
  • Cosgrove Edwards ring 1
  • Chordal and leaflet repair 2

12
Outcome of tricuspid valve surgery
  • In-hospital deaths n6 (20)
  • after TV replacement (2 mechanical, 2 xenograft)
    and TV repair
  • Causes of death
  • cardiac failure (2), sepsis
    (3), myocardial infarction (1)
  • One retransplantation on the 1st postop day after
    mechanical valve replacement and coronary bypass
    grafting.
  • Renal function improved in 3 patients and
    deteriorated in 9
  • Significant improvement of edema and ascites
    after 1 year
  • Median postoperative survival was 3.47 years (3d
    - 20.2yrs)
  • Recurrent TR gt II was seen in 6 (4 repair and 2
    replacement)
  • Long term complications
  • mechanical valve thrombosis (n1),
  • xenograft valve endocarditis (n1)

Conclusions
  • The number of biopsies and rejections were the
    only predisposing factors for TR after heart
    transplantation in this series.
  • There was a very low incidence of TR which could
    be attributed to distortion of TV geometry in
    biatrial anastomosis.
  • Tricuspid valve surgery improves symptoms of
    right heart failure.
  • Early mortality is high, but long-term survival
    has been observed.
