Key result
New functional TR staging system incorporates severity, annular dilation, and leaflet coaptation to guide decision-making.
Why the study?
The assessment of the etiology and severity of functional tricuspid regurgitation has many limitations, particularly when tricuspid regurgitation is more than severe.

Proposes a new staging system for functional tricuspid regurgitation that incorporates annular dilation and leaflet coaptation alongside TR severity to improve clinical decision-making.
Dreyfus et al. (2015) conducted a review in Functional tricuspid regurgitation. New staging system for functional tricuspid valve pathology was evaluated. A new staging system for functional tricuspid valve pathology incorporating TR severity, annular dilation, and leaflet coaptation is proposed to improve clinical appraisal and decision-making.
