Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 09/25/09
Chan V et al. – In patients undergoing MVR, tricuspid repair is indicated when TR exceeds 2+ to alleviate heart failure symptoms, but without significantly improving survival in this population. TR of 2+ or less may not require repair. Echocardiographic tricuspid annular dimensions alone, in the absence of significant (<1+) TR preoperatively, should not dictate the performance of tricuspid repair.
