The presence of concomitant mitral (MR) or tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common issue in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The objective was (i) to analyse the outcomes of patients with concomitant moderate or more severe MR, (ii) to compare the outcomes with those of TAVI patients without concomitant MR and (iii) to evaluate the impact of TAVI on grade of concomitant MR.
