==Overview==
==Overview==
Severe primary/secondary [[tricuspid regurgitation]] does not predictably improve after left-sided [[valve]] surgery, even with correction of any associated [[pulmonary hypertension]], and should be addressed at the time of the index left-sided [[valve]] surgery.
[[Pulmonary hypertension]] or [[myocardial]] [[disease]] are two factors that affect the treatment of [[secondary TR]]. The surgical approach is considered for selected [[patients]] with severe [[TR]] (stage C,D) at the time of [[left-sided valve lesions]] [[surgery]] and to prevent later development of severe [[TR]] in [[patients]] with progressive [[TR ]] (Stage B). For selected [[patients]] with isolated [[TR]] (either [[primary TR ]] or [[secondary TR]] attributable to [[annular dilation]] in the absence of [[pulmonary hypertension]] or [[dilated cardiomyopathy]]), [[surgical intervention]] is recommended. [[Mortality rate]] is high in [[patients]] undergone interventions for severe isolated [[TR]] due to [[end-organ damage]]. However, outcomes of [[patients]] with severe [[primary TR]] are poor with medical management. Earlier surgery for [[patients]] with severe isolated [[TR]] before the onset of severe [[RV dysfunction]] or [[end-organ damage]] is recommended.

===Indications for Surgery===
* Primary or secondary severe [[TR]] may not improve after treatment of the left-sided [[valve]] lesion and reduction of [[RV afterload]]. <ref name="pmid33332150">{{cite journal |vauthors=Otto CM, Nishimura RA, Bonow RO, Carabello BA, Erwin JP, Gentile F, Jneid H, Krieger EV, Mack M, McLeod C, O'Gara PT, Rigolin VH, Sundt TM, Thompson A, Toly C |title=2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines |journal=Circulation |volume=143 |issue=5 |pages=e72–e227 |date=February 2021 |pmid=33332150 |doi=10.1161/CIR.0000000000000923 |url=}}</ref>
*Re-operation for severe, isolated [[TR]] after left-sided [[valve]] surgery is associated with a [[perioperative]] [[mortality rate]] of 10% to 25%.
* [[Tricuspid valv]]e repair will not increase the risks of [[surgery]].<ref name="pmid19470900">{{cite journal |vauthors=Rogers JH, Bolling SF |title=The tricuspid valve: current perspective and evolving management of tricuspid regurgitation |journal=Circulation |volume=119 |issue=20 |pages=2718–25 |date=May 2009 |pmid=19470900 |doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.842773 |url=}}</ref>
* [[Tricuspid valve]] repair is preferable to replacement due to lower operative risk, but replacement may be indicated if there is marked dilation of the annulus or intrinsic disease of the [[tricuspid]] leaflets.<ref name="pmid20813324">{{cite journal |vauthors=Chikwe J, Anyanwu AC |title=Surgical strategies for functional tricuspid regurgitation |journal=Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg |volume=22 |issue=1 |pages=90–6 |date=2010 |pmid=20813324 |doi=10.1053/j.semtcvs.2010.05.002 |url=}}</ref>
* The risks and benefits of [[tricuspid valve]] operation should be carefully considered in the presence of severe [[RV systolic dysfunction]] or irreversible [[pulmonary hypertension]] because of the possibility of [[RV failure]] after the operation.
*If mild or moderate degrees of [[secondary TR]] are left uncorrected at the time of left-sided valve surgery, they may progress over time in approximately 25% of [[patients]] and result in reduced long-term functional outcome and [[survival]].
*Risk factors for persistence or progression of [[TR]] include [[tricuspid annulus dilation]] (>40 mm diameter or 21 mm/m2 diameter indexed to [[body surface area]] on preoperative [[TTE]] measured at [[end-diastole]]; >70 mm diameter on direct intraoperative measurement of the intercomissural distance), degree of [[RV dysfunction]] or remodeling, leaflet tethering height, [[pulmonary artery hypertension]], [[AF]], and intra-annular [[RV pacemaker]] or [[implantable cardioverter-defibrillator]] leads.
* Studies showed the benefits of [[tricuspid repair]] at the time of [[mitral]] valve [[surgery]] for [[progressive TR]] (Stage B) with [[tricuspid]] annulus dilation.
*In [[patients]] with symptomatic severe [[primary TR]], reduction of the [[regurgitant]] [[volume]] load by [[tricuspid valve]] surgery can decrease [[systemic venous]] and [[hepatic]] congestion and the need for [[diuretics]].
* [[Patients]] with severe congestive [[hepatopathy]] may also benefit from [[surgery]] to prevent irreversible [[cirrhosis]] of the [[liver]].
* Quality and duration of long-term survival are related to residual [[RV function]].<ref name="pmid31422359">{{cite journal |vauthors=Kadri AN, Menon V, Sammour YM, Gajulapalli RD, Meenakshisundaram C, Nusairat L, Mohananey D, Hernandez AV, Navia J, Krishnaswamy A, Griffin B, Rodriguez L, Harb SC, Kapadia S |title=Outcomes of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and congestive heart failure |journal=Heart |volume=105 |issue=23 |pages=1813–1817 |date=December 2019 |pmid=31422359 |doi=10.1136/heartjnl-2019-315004 |url=}}</ref>
* In [[patients]] with severe symptomatic [[primary TR]] from either device leads or [[endomyocardial biopsy]], [[TR]] develops rapidly, and [[surgery]] can be performed before the onset of [[RV dysfunction]].
* Correction of symptomatic severe [[primary TR ]] (Stage D) in [[patients]] without left-sided valve disease would preferentially be performed before the onset of significant [[RV dysfunction]] or [[end-organ damage]]
*[[ TR ]] can develop in attribution with [[AF]] and [[annular dilation]] (a form of [[secondary TR]]).<ref name="pmid11163563">{{cite journal |vauthors=Mangoni AA, DiSalvo TG, Vlahakes GJ, Polanczyk CA, Fifer MA |title=Outcome following isolated tricuspid valve replacement |journal=Eur J Cardiothorac Surg |volume=19 |issue=1 |pages=68–73 |date=January 2001 |pmid=11163563 |doi=10.1016/s1010-7940(00)00598-4 |url=}}</ref>
* [[AF]]-related [[TR]] may represent greater basal dilation and annular enlargement. However, [[RV elongation]] with leaflet tethering is seen in [[patients]] who have [[secondary TR]] caused by [[pulmonary hypertension]] or [[myocardial disease]].
* These [[patients]] with [[AF]]-related [[TR]] have rapid progression of [[TR]] severity and right-sided chamber [[dilation]].
* In [[ AF]]-related severe [[TR]], [[quality of life]] and [[symptoms]] can be improved by [[surgical]] intervention for [[TR]].
* Outcomes are better in [[patients]] undergoing intervention and no evidence of severe [[RV dysfunction]] or [[end-organ damage]].

Overview

Pulmonary hypertension or myocardial disease are two factors that affect the treatment of secondary TR. The surgical approach is considered for selected patients with severe TR (stage C,D) at the time of left-sided valve lesions surgery and to prevent later development of severe TR in patients with progressive TR (Stage B). For selected patients with isolated TR (either primary TR or secondary TR attributable to annular dilation in the absence of pulmonary hypertension or dilated cardiomyopathy), surgical intervention is recommended. Mortality rate is high in patients undergone interventions for severe isolated TR due to end-organ damage. However, outcomes of patients with severe primary TR are poor with medical management. Earlier surgery for patients with severe isolated TR before the onset of severe RV dysfunction or end-organ damage is recommended.

Surgery

Indications for Surgery





Recommendations for intervention in tricuspid valve disease
Primary Tricuspid Regurgitation (Class I, Level of Evidence C):

Surgery is recommended in patients with severe primary tricuspid regurgitation undergoing left-sided valve surgery
Surgery is recommended in symptomatic patients with isolated severe primary tricuspid regurgitation without severe RV dysfunction

Primary Tricuspid Regurgitation (Class IIa, Level of Evidence C):

Surgery should be considered in patients with moderate primary tricuspid regurgitation undergoing left-sided valve surgery

Surgical Methods

Annuloplasty

The principal surgical repair for secondary TR is tricuspid annuloplasty. The aim of tricuspid annuloplasty is to improve leaflet coaptation by correcting annular dilatation and restoring annular geometry. The two principle surgical methods are:[8][9]

  • Ring annuloplasty: It is regarded as the standard for surgical repair. The size of the tricuspid annulus is permanently fixed by implantation of a rigid or semi rigid prosthesis, undersized ring, and it is associated with a reduced incidence of late, recurrent tricuspid regurgitation.
  • Suture annuloplasty: It is technically easy and can be done quickly. Also, compared with the ring annuloplasty, a prosthetic implant is not used with suture annuloplasty and the risk of postoperative conduction disturbances is lower.
leaflet coaptation

Other methods:[8]

  • Adjunctive repair techniques: This may be necessary for augmentation of the effects of the ring annuloplasty in patients with marked leaflet tethering and right ventricular remodeling. The long-term outcomes and durability of these adjunctive techniques are not well established. Types of adjunctive repair techniques are listed in the table below.
Anterior leaflet augmentation using an autologous pericardial patch ''Clover'' technique Double orifice valve technique
Helps improve leaflet coaptation while maintaining leaflet mobility
  • Approximates the free edges of the three leaflets, producing a clover-shaped valve
  • It has also been used to treat selected patients with complex primary tricuspid regurgitation
  • Promising outcomes have been reported
  • Done by passing two sutures from the middle of the anterior portion of the annulus to the septal portion of the annulus, forcing leaflet coaptation
  • Tricuspid valve replacement
  • The initial approach in tricuspid surgery is repair; however, replacement is done whenever the valve is badly diseased.
  • Transcatheter therapies
    • The safety and feasibility of transcatheter therapies for treating severe tricuspid regurgitation are shown in the study:
    • Three types of transcatheter therapies have recently emerged for treating severe tricuspid regurgitation:
      1. Heterotopic caval transcatheter valve implantation
      2. Transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty
      3. Coaptation device
  • Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement[12]

Recommendations for Timing of Intervention Referenced studies that support the recommendations are summarized in the Online Data Supplement

Class I
1.   In patients with severe TR (Stages C and D) undergoing left-sided valve surgery, tricuspid valve surgery is recommended. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)
Class IIa
2.   In patients with progressive TR (Stage B) undergoing left-sided valve surgery, tricuspid valve surgery can be beneficial in the context of either 1) tricuspid annular dilation (tricuspid annulus end diastolic diameter >4.0 cm) or 2) prior signs and symptoms of right-sided HF.(Level of Evidence: B-NR)

3.   In patients with signs and symptoms of right-sided HF and severe primary TR (Stage D), isolated tricuspid valve surgery can be beneficial to reduce symptoms and recurrent hospitalizations(Level of Evidence: B-NR) 4.   In patients with signs and symptoms of right-sided HF and severe isolated secondary TR attributable to annular dilation (in the absence of pulmonary hypertension or left-sided disease) who are poorly responsive to medical therapy (Stage D), isolated tricuspid valve surgery can be beneficial to reduce symptoms and recurrent hospitalizations.(Level of Evidence: B-NR)

Class IIb
5.   In asymptomatic patients with severe primary TR (Stage C) and progressive RV dilation or systolic dysfunction, isolated tricuspid valve surgery may be considered(Level of Evidence: C-LD)

6.   In patients with signs and symptoms of right-sided HF and severe TR (Stage D) who have undergone previous left-sided valve surgery, reoperation with isolated tricuspid valve surgery may be considered in the absence of severe pulmonary hypertension or severe RV systolic dysfunction(Level of Evidence: B-NR)
