Tricuspid valve replacement: The old and the new

Prog Cardiovasc Dis. 2022 May-Jun:72:102-113. doi: 10.1016/j.pcad.2022.06.004. Epub 2022 Jun 20.

Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation is a frequent and serious condition but tricuspid valve (TV) surgery, that may be a valve replacement when a repair is not feasible, is rarely performed. Recent development of transcatheter TV interventions offers new options for those high-surgical risk patients, especially TV replacement for patients who are not eligible for transcatheter TV repair. In this review, we describe indications and outcome after surgical TV replacement, and devices available or in development for transcatheter TV replacement.

Keywords: Prosthetic valves; Tricuspid valve; Valve repair; Valve replacement; Valvular heart disease.
