© 2023 Elsevier Inc.Patients with isolated tricuspid valve (TV) disease have poor prognosis with no consensus on their management. Transcatheter TV intervention is emerging as a valid option in patients with prohibitive surgical risk. We analyzed studies of patients who underwent isolated TV surgery to identify the features associated with successful clinical outcomes. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting clinical outcomes of isolated surgical TV intervention, namely TV repair, TV replacement with a bioprosthetic valve (TVR-B), or TV replacement with a mechanical valve (TVR-M). Twenty-seven studies involving 10,478 patients (4,931 TV repair, 3,821 TVR-B, and 1,713 TVR-M) were included. Early mortality occurred in 9% and did not differ between TV surgical approaches. Late mortality was 27% at a median follow-up of 4 (3 to 6) years and was significantly higher for all-TVR (30% vs 25%, rate ratio 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.05 to 1.31, p = 0.004) and TVR-B (28% vs 24%, rate ratio 1.15, 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 1.30, p = 0.02) compared with TV repair. Late mortality did not differ between TVR-B and TVR-M. Across all studies, early complications included bleeding (7.4%), acute kidney injury (18.7%), permanent pacemaker (13.7%), cerebrovascular accidents (1.2%), and infection (8.9%). Late clinical outcomes included reintervention (3.7%), structural valve deterioration (2.4%), valve thrombosis (2.6%), and TV regurgitation recurrence after 1 year (15.0%). In conclusion, in isolated TV surgeries, TV repair has favorable long-term mortality compared with TV replacement. This supports the development and refinement of transcatheter TV repair approaches. Future research is recommended to provide comparative data for various transcatheter TV interventions.
