Tricuspid Regurgitation in Congestive Heart Failure: Management Strategies and Analysis of Outcomes

Geoffrey C Ramsdell et al. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2021 Apr.

Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation is a notable aspect of congestive heart failure and is linked with worse outcomes if untreated. Functional tricuspid regurgitation commonly is seen in patients with heart failure, particularly in patients presenting for surgical management, such as those for mechanical cardiac assist device implantation. This review aims to study the published data related to the surgical management of tricuspid regurgitation in the cardiac surgical population comprehensively.

Keywords: heart failure; outcomes; surgery; surgical management; tricuspid regurgitation.
