Tricuspid Valve Repair & Replacement

Tricuspid valve repair and replacement are performed to treat disorders of the valve that controls blood flow between the right chambers of the heart. When this valve does not close or open properly, it can lead to fluid buildup, fatigue, and reduced heart efficiency. Timely surgical treatment helps restore normal heart function and improves overall well-being.

Whenever possible, repairing the native valve is preferred to maintain natural heart function. In cases where repair is not feasible, valve replacement offers a reliable and effective solution.

Conditions Treated

Tricuspid valve surgery may be required for:

• Tricuspid valve regurgitation (leakage)
• Tricuspid valve stenosis (narrowing)
• Valve damage due to heart enlargement
• Congenital tricuspid valve abnormalities
• Valve disease associated with other cardiac conditions

What Patients Can Expect

Each patient undergoes a thorough cardiac evaluation to determine the most suitable treatment approach. Care is focused on safety, precision, and long-term results.

Key aspects of care include:

• Detailed heart imaging and diagnostic tests
• Careful decision between repair or replacement
• Advanced surgical techniques for optimal outcomes
• Dedicated postoperative care and monitoring
• Long-term follow-up for sustained heart health

Life After Surgery

Following tricuspid valve surgery, most patients experience relief from symptoms and improved daily activity levels. Ongoing follow-up ensures proper recovery and long-term heart function.
