    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Valvular Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Organic tricuspid valve disease poses diagnostic challenges, often requiring open-heart surgery for definitive differentiation.
    • Tricuspid valve replacement is indicated in a significant subset of patients needing valve surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of tricuspid valve replacement in patients with organic disease.
    • To assess the impact of surgery on operative mortality, clinical improvement, and postoperative complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 56 patients undergoing tricuspid valve replacement.
    • Focus on patients with confirmed organic tricuspid valve disease (53 out of 56).
    • Evaluation of operative mortality, clinical status, cardiothoracic ratio, and tricuspid incompetence post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Operative mortality decreased to 7% over a five-year period.
    • Significant clinical improvement was observed in 79% of patients.
    • Radiographic evidence of improvement (reduced cardiothoracic ratio) in 81% and low rates of postoperative incompetence were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Tricuspid valve replacement is an effective treatment for organic tricuspid valve disease.
    • The procedure leads to substantial clinical improvement and favorable long-term outcomes.
    • Surgical intervention significantly reduces mortality and improves cardiac function in affected patients.
