Surgery for tricuspid valve disease.

G Merin, J B Borman, S Stern

    Israel Journal of Medical Sciences
    |February 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tricuspid valve replacement is recommended for severe organic tricuspid valve disease, offering better long-term outcomes than repair. This study compared outcomes for 60 patients undergoing tricuspid surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Valvular Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Tricuspid valve disease affects patient functional capacity.
    • Surgical intervention is necessary for significant tricuspid valve lesions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the outcomes of tricuspid valve repair versus replacement.
    • To determine the optimal surgical approach for severe organic tricuspid valve disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 60 patients undergoing tricuspid valve surgery (repair or replacement).
    • Evaluation of preoperative functional capacity (New York Heart Association classes III-IV).
    • Comparison of operative and late mortality, and long-term survival rates between repair and replacement groups.

    Main Results:

    • Tricuspid valve replacement (42 patients) had higher operative mortality (26%) than repair (18 patients, 11%).
    • Long-term survival favored replacement, with 34 of 37 survivors showing marked improvement.
    • Patients undergoing replacement had more severe preoperative conditions and pathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Tricuspid valve replacement is the preferred procedure for severe organic tricuspid valve disease.
    • Despite higher initial mortality, valve replacement yields superior long-term results.
    • Patient selection based on disease severity is crucial for surgical outcomes.
