Tricuspid Stenosis

Diagnostic Tools

• Cardiac Catheterization
• X-ray
• ECG
• Echocardiogram

Treatment

• Tricuspid valve repair surgery corrects tricuspid insufficiency; the damaged valve is strengthened and shortened to help the valve close more tightly.
• Tricuspid valve replacement surgery corrects both tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency
• Valve replacement with mechanical valves created from manmade materials, which require long-term blood thinning with warfarin medication
• Valve replacement with biological (tissue) valves. Learn more about heart valve surgery.
