Impact of Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation on the Progression of Tricuspid Regurgitation and Right‐Sided Heart Remodeling After Mitral‐Valve Surgery: A Propensity‐Score Matching Analysis

Impact of Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation on the Progression of Tricuspid Regurgitation and Right‐Sided Heart Remodeling After Mitral‐Valve Surgery: A Propensity‐Score Matching Analysis

BackgroundThis study assessed the role of surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in decreasing tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and right‐sided heart remodeling in patients after mitral valve procedure. Methods and ResultsBetween 1994 and 2014, 1568 consecutive patients with AF undergoing mitral...
