Key result
Surgical annuloplasty improves functional TR severity and patient prognosis despite ongoing recurrence challenges.
Why the study?
FTR was historically overlooked in left heart valve disease, but severe TR significantly impacts surgical prognosis and addressing the tricuspid valve improves outcomes.

May support tricuspid annuloplasty during left heart surgery; leaves open optimal strategies to minimize recurrence.
Addressing the tricuspid valve alongside left heart disease management improves postoperative cardiac function and quality of life in patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation.
Wang et al. (2024) conducted a review in Functional tricuspid regurgitation. Tricuspid valve surgery was evaluated. Surgical treatment of functional tricuspid regurgitation, particularly tricuspid annuloplasty, effectively improves the degree of regurgitation and patient prognosis, though recurrence remains a challenge.
