Overview

The natural course of tricuspid stenosis is not well defined and it is extremely rare for TS to occur in isolation. The most common cause of TS is rheumatic heart disease and it is usually associated with coexisting mitral valve and/or aortic valve abnormality. TS of rheumatic etiology usually occurs with tricuspid regurgitation. Tricuspid stenosis takes years to develop, with some exceptions such as congenital causes. Complications of tricuspid stenosis include heart failure, liver failure, and stroke.^[1]

Natural History

After several years, the right atrium can become enlarged because blood flow through the narrow tricuspid valve opening is partially blocked. An enlarged atrium can affect the pressure and blood flow in the nearby chambers and veins.^[2]^[3]
It can also cause the right ventricle to shrink because the amount of blood entering from the right atrium is reduced. Eventually, less blood circulates through the lungs to get oxygen^[4].
Bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis is not uncommon after 8 years. Tricuspid valve replacement performed at the second surgery was associated with a higher incidence of bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis^[5].

Complication

The following complications may occur from tricuspid stenosis:

Prognosis

With medical intervention, severe tricuspid stenosis appears well tolerated over several years of follow-up.^[3]
