How Tricuspid Valve Repair/Replacement is performed
This surgery aims to repair or replace the tricuspid valve, with options including annuloplasty, chordal or leaflet reconstruction, and, if necessary, replacement with a bioprosthetic or mechanical valve. It is usually performed under cardiopulmonary bypass and direct vision, with lesion management and suture fixation completed, and intraoperative ultrasound used to assess valve function and regurgitation. Postoperatively, circulation, respiration, and heart rhythm are monitored in the intensive care unit, with anticoagulation and diuretics adjusted as needed, with the goal of reducing reflux and improving right heart load. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
