“…Risk factors identified for early death include age and left-sided valvular disease. This supports the notion that functional TR requiring replacement is a marker for end-stage valvular heart disease (4,5). Indeed, the most common cause of peri-operative death following TV replacement is right ventricular failure (4).…”

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) represents a significant disease process and when severe, is associated with increased mortality. Recent guidelines support a more aggressive approach to tricuspid valve (TV) surgery, especially when encountered with left-sided valvular pathology. While annuloplasty has been the standard treatment for TR, it may not provide as effective or durable a repair compared to annuloplasty combined with TV repair techniques. Several of these approaches are discussed including bicuspidalization, anterior leaflet augmentation, edge to edge repair, neochords, leaflet resection and combined approaches. Although patient cohorts in most of the studies examining these techniques are small, the long-term durability of TV repair is significant.

“…9 Despite this controversy, the survival is probably similar for mechanical and bioprostheses. 8,10,11 Overall, the tricuspid valve is more prone to thrombosis and pannus formation, irrespective of whether a bioprosthesis or a mechanical valve is used. Pannus formation occurs mostly on the ventricular side and has a 35% incidence at five years' follow-up.…”

“…However, reports on newer bileaflet valves suggest a lower incidence of this complication. 8 Tricuspid tissue valve replacements are prone to valve degeneration, but the performance is better in young patients when the replacement is done in the tricuspid position compared to the mitral and aortic positions. 9 Despite this controversy, the survival is probably similar for mechanical and bioprostheses.…”

“…Although corrective surgery of severe functional TR (FTR) showed trends toward improved survival, either significant residual or recurrent TR has been reported in 15% to 40% of patients after different TV surgery [10][11][12]. Tricuspid valve replacement, which allows adequate surface area of co-aptation impossible, is associated with higher mortality [13,14]. Several studies have shown better long-term freedom from recurrent TV regurgitation and repeat operation in those who underwent TV repair [15][16][17][18][19][20]; however, data regarding the outcome of such an approach and the optimal surgical technique for TV repair is lacking [6,21].…”
