Overview
The majority of tricuspid regurgitation remain asymptomatic.
Natural History
Complications
Prognosis
Severe TR is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality.[1]
TR commonly occurs among patients with mild/moderate mitral regurgitation (MR) or mitral stenosis. Approximately 30-50% of patients with MR have concomitant TR.[2][1] Isolated mitral valve surgery for mitral valve abnormalities is associated with no improvement of TR in the majority of patients.[3] Tricuspid valve surgery at the time of operation for left-sided valvulopathy significantly decreases the rate of post-operative residual MR.[4]
Factors associated with postoperative residual TR following isolated mitral valve surgery among patients with MR and concomitant TR include:[5]
- Excessively dilated left atrium
- Atrial fibrillation
- Preoperative TR (2+)
