    Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is prevalent among elderly patients, and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is an effective treatment for severe TR.

  • 2

    Patients with prior cardiac surgery (PCS) represent a significant subgroup undergoing T-TEER, with 27.2% of the study population having a history of PCS.

  • 3

    Residual TR severity post-T-TEER was significantly higher in patients with PCS compared to those without, indicating reduced procedural success.

  • 4

    At follow-up, patients with PCS showed less improvement in TR reduction compared to non-PCS patients, with 19.6% having residual TR ≥ 3+.

  • 5

    Thirty-day mortality rates were similar between patients with and without PCS, suggesting that prior surgery does not increase immediate procedural risk.
