Abstract:
The surgical management of mitral and aortic valvular heart disease has changed significantly over the last decade. Meanwhile, tricuspid valve (TV) surgery has remained less commonly performed than left-sided valve surgeries, and there is a relative paucity of reports in the literature. There are ongoing controversies as to the optimal surgical management of TV disease, including repair versus replacement, the type of prosthesis preferred, optimal repair techniques, appropriate management of functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with concomitant left heart valve surgery, and others. In this article, we review what we believe are five important and contemporary papers that cover important aspects of TV surgery and provide recommendations for the surgical management of TV disease.
