Reassessing the role of tricuspid valve surgery in the modern era

Heart BMJ

MARCH 13, 2025

The tricuspid valve (TV), historically deemed the ’forgotten valve’, is undergoing a renaissance as mounting evidence highlights its critical role in cardiovascular outcomes. Severe TR has been independently associated with increased mortality, regardless of left ventricular (LV) function or pulmonary pressures.

Transcript of the video: Ebstein’s Anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart disease in which survival to adult life is common. In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. Anterior leaflet is elongated and sail like.

Introduction Isolated tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients with congenital heart disease, infective endocarditis and those who underwent concomitant valve or pericardial surgery were excluded. We only included those who had all three tests before surgery: ECHO, CMR and RHC.

Like the heart chambers, there are four heart valves between each of the chambers. The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve. The pulmonary semilunar valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk. Veins, on the other hand, return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. In right atrial tracing, this occurs at the time of right ventricular contraction, with bulging upwards of the tricuspid valve. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade.

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. This view images the heart from the base to apex long axis view.

BACKGROUND:Right ventricular-arterial coupling (RVAC) describes the relationship between right ventricular contractility and pulmonary vascular afterload. In a retrospective analysis, hybrid (echo and invasive) RVAC metrics included TAPSE/pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRi) and RVFW-LS/PVRi.

Methods This was a retrospective analysis of the Verona Valvular Heart Disease Registry (Italy) including 250 patients (83 (80–86) years, 53% female) with severe AS who underwent TAVI between 2019 and 2021. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiovascular death and rehospitalisation for heart failure (HF).
