Tricuspid regurgitation is a common finding in patients with left-sided heart disease with prognostic implications. In addition, isolated tricuspid valve surgery is associated with high mortality and is infrequently performed. Hence, a largely unmet clinical need exists and less invasive therapeutic options are emerging: multiple percutaneous therapies have been developed, including tricuspid valve repair or replacement. This review aims to provide an overview with diagnostic and clinical perspectives, potential challenges and future directions.

Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation is a common finding in patients with left-sided heart disease with prognostic implications. In addition, isolated tricuspid valve surgery is associated with high mortality and is infrequently performed. Hence, a largely unmet clinical need exists and less invasive therapeutic options are emerging: multiple percutaneous therapies have been developed, including tricuspid valve repair or replacement. This review aims to provide an overview with diagnostic and clinical perspectives, potential challenges and future directions.
