Abstract

Surgical treatment of isolated and concomitant tricuspid disease remains underutilized. The gap between guidelines and clinical practice is reflective in large measure of the historically poor outcomes of tricuspid valve surgery. We reviewed our current surgical outcomes of tricuspid regurgitation to determine whether surgical outcomes have improved in the modern era.

Keywords: Right ventricle; Tricuspid regurgitation; Tricuspid surgery; Tricuspid valve; Tricuspid valve repair.
