Overview

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding. TR is mostly a trace or mild regurgitation and usually has no symptoms when pulmonary hypertension and heart failure are absent.[1] However, moderate and severe TR are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The higher the severity of TR, the worse the prognosis.[1]

Natural History

TR is a common valvular abnormality usually presenting with no symptoms when pulmonary hypertension and heart failure are absent.[1] When symptoms are present, they develop progressively. TR can be present in isolation or associated with other medical conditions. TR commonly occurs among patients with mild/moderate mitral regurgitation (MR) or mitral stenosis. Approximately 30-50% of patients with MR have concomitant TR.[2][3] Severe TR with pulmonary hypertension/right ventricular dysfunction has a worse prognosis and frequently requires surgical intervention. Isolated mitral valve surgery for mitral valve abnormalities is associated with no improvement of TR in the majority of patients.[4] It is also not uncommon to have residual TR following isolated left-sided valve surgery, especially when some preoperative risk factors are present.[5] Tricuspid valve surgery at the time of left-sided valvulopathy decreases the rate of post-operative residual tricuspid regurgitation.[6]

Risk factors for residual TR following isolated left-sided valve surgery

There is an increased risk of residual tricuspid regurgitation following isolated left-sided valve surgery if the following preoperative risk factors are present:[5]

  • Older age
  • Female gender
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Rheumatic etiology
  • Mitral valve surgery
  • Previous valve surgery
  • Long duration of left-sided valve disease before surgery
  • 2+/3+ preoperative TR
  • Enlarged left and right atria

Complications

Prognosis

Increased morbidity and mortality associated with moderate and severe TR. The higher the severity of the TR, the worse the prognosis is.[1][10][3] Severe isolated TR is associated with a worse prognosis compared to the general population.[11] Right ventricular dysfunction is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality following tricuspid valve surgery.[12] Residual TR following TV repair during concomitant left-sided valve surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.[13]
