Current Status on Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation(TR)is not rare in clinic.Severe TR causes a long-term increase in right ventricular volume load and leads to irreversible myocardial damage,eventually leading to right heart failure,increasing the hospitalization rate and mortality of these patients.Treatment of severe TR includes drug therapy,surgery,and transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention.The mortality rate of isolated surgical treatment of severe TR is higher than that of other surgeries for valvular regurgitation.Transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention is a new method of treating severe TR.Tricuspid valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is the most widely applied technique.This article reviews the incidence,etiology,diagnosis,and treatment strategies of severe TR.
