Abstract

Similarly to aortic and mitral valve disease, both tricuspid stenosis and tricuspid regurgitation can be treated surgically. In clinical practice, however, surgical procedures for tricuspid stenosis are extremely rare. Numerous techniques for correction of tricuspid regurgitation have been elaborated since the 1960s but for decades surgeons have remained rather conservative in indications for tricuspid valve repair. Tricuspid regurgitation was traditionally believed to ameliorate spontaneously after surgical correction of left-sided heart valve disease and, in general, to be well tolerated by the patient. A shift in the paradigm towards a more aggressive surgical approach to secondary tricuspid regurgitation has been advocated by many in recent years in order to prevent further worsening of regurgitation and to avoid late reoperations with unfavorable results [1–4]. Th e number of surgical corrections of tricuspid regurgitation has been increasing because modern indication criteria do rightly suggest surgical intervention, even in less-significant tricuspid regurgitation, as part of a combined cardiac operation.
