Objective:
To investigate the incidence and prognosis of tricuspid regurgitation after transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects in pediatric patients as well as the risk factors of regurgitation occurrence or aggravation.
Methods:
Clinical data of 1 108 patients who underwent percutaneous closure in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2011 to January 2017 was analyzed retrospectively, and the prognosis and risk factors of postoperative tricuspid regurgitation and aggravation were also analyzed.
Results:
Mild tricuspid regurgitation occurred in 24 cases after surgery with the incidence of 2.1%.Among 5 cases with mild or above preoperative tricuspid regurgitation, the regurgitation was alleviated after surgery in 4 cases.No severe tricuspid regurgitation requiring surgical intervention occurred in any patient during follow-up.Univariate analysis showed that intervention time (
