Overview
Surgical tricuspid valve replacement in tricuspid stenosis (TS) is recommended among patients undergoing surgical intervention for left valvular disease as well as among patients with severe symptomatic isolated TS.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for tricuspid stenosis (TS), which includes the following:[1]
Valvotomy
- Valvotomy in tricuspid stenosis (TS) patients is done by using 1, 2, or 3 balloons.[2]
- With valvotomy there is significant change in transvalvular pressure gradient across tricuspid valve and there is a decrease in right atrial pressure.

| Class I |
| "1. Tricuspid valve surgery is recommended for patients with severe TS at the time of operation for left-sided valve disease. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| "2. Tricuspid valve surgery is recommended for patients with isolated, symptomatic severe TS. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class IIb |
| "1. Percutaneous balloon tricuspid commissurotomy might be considered in patients with isolated, symptomatic severe TS without accompanying TR. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
