What are the outcomes and optimal therapeutic interventions for patients with isolated tricuspid regurgitation?
This review highlights the high operative mortality of stand-alone surgery for isolated tricuspid regurgitation and proposes early surgical intervention in low-risk symptomatic patients before right ventricular dysfunction occurs.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High mortality with stand-alone isolated TR surgery warrants caution in selection; leaves open whether early intervention improves outcomes before RV dysfunction.
Fender et al. (2017) studied this question.
