For more information on valve disease and its treatment, see Valve Disease What is tricuspid valve disease? The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium (top chamber) and right ventricle (bottom chamber). It's role is to make sure blood flows in a forward direction from the right atrium to the ventricle. Tricuspid valve disease refers to abnormal function of the tricuspid valve. Two types of tricuspid disease include: Tricuspid regurgitation - the valve is leaky or doesn't close tight enough, causing blood to leak backwards across the valve Tricuspid stenosis - the valve leaflets are stiff and do not open widely enough, causing a restriction in the forward flow of blood. Your physician may refer to this as an increased pressure gradient across the valve, found by echocardiogram or cardiac catheterization.

Dictionary Treating the Heart, Blood Vessels and Circulation Treatment Options: Heart Valve Surgery and Balloon Valvotomy Over the past few years, there have been great advances in the surgical treatment of diseased heart valves. The diagnostic tests your heart doctor orders help to identify the location, type and extent of your valve disease. The results of these tests, the structure of your heart, your age, and your lifestyle will help your cardiologist, surgeon, and YOU decide what type of procedure will be best for you. Valve Procedures: Heart Surgery Traditional heart valve surgery During traditional heart valve surgery, a surgeon will make an incision down the center of your sternum (breastbone) to get direct access to your heart. The surgeon then repairs or replaces your abnormal heart valve or valves. Often, the surgeon and cardiologist will use transesophageal echocardiography during the operation to help determine the functioning of the valve before and after surgery. Traditional heart surgery: If you have traditional heart valve surgery, expect to be in the hospital five to seven days

    Extractions: at Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic is one of the largest and most experienced medical centers in the country for treatment of tricuspid valve disease. Heart surgeons at Mayo Clinic have extensive experience and expertise in diagnosing and treating damaged tricuspid heart valves. Patients also benefit from Mayo Clinic's state-of-the-art facilities, leading-edge medical treatment, and access to appropriate clinical trials and new treatments for tricuspid valve defects. Various tests can help diagnose the heart valve problem, the possible cause of a heart valve defect, determine how serious the problem is and whether the tricuspid valve needs to be surgically repaired or replaced. Read more about diagnosis Treatment of a damaged tricuspid valve depends on the type and severity identified in the diagnosis. The Mayo Model of Care emphasizes an integrated, collaborative team approach to provide the best possible care for each patient. Tricuspid valves rarely require surgery. Patients with mild to moderate tricuspid valve defect who have no symptoms may be recommended for careful monitoring through regular medical checkups. Patients may be treated with a variety of medications. For patients who require

Medical Services Tricuspid Valve Disease Tricuspid Valve Disease Overview Diagnosis Symptoms Causes ... Medical Services At Mayo Clinic, diagnosis begins with a complete physical examination by a medical team that specializes in heart care. Patients will be asked about their general health, including signs and symptoms, and a history of heart disease in their family. Diagnostic tests may include: Chest X-ray In this test, patches with wires (electrodes) are attached to the patient's skin to measure the electrical impulses given off by the heart. Impulses are recorded as waves displayed on a monitor or printed on paper. An ECG gives information about heart rhythm and, indirectly, heart size. Echocardiogram (Doppler echocardiogram) This test uses sound waves to produce detailed images of the patient's heart. Through a wandlike device (transducer) held on the patient's chest, sound waves bounce off the heart and are reflected back through the chest wall and processed to produce video images of the heart and a close look at the tricuspid valve. A Doppler echocardiogram may be used to measure the volume of blood flowing through the tricuspid valve. Electrophysiology (EP) For patients with irregular heart beats, Mayo Clinic provides electrophysiology assessments, with electrophysiologists and cardiologists trained in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders, including those caused by heart valve defects, and advanced equipment for analysis and recording of heart rhythms.

Useful Organisations You are here: Home Patient Information Anatomy / treatment The tricuspid valve lies between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It prevents backflow of blood from the ventricle into the atrium. The valve may become damaged or diseased causing stenosis and/or regurgitation of the valve. Both of these complications may prevent the valve from functioning correctly. The tricuspid valve may become narrowed or 'stenotic' causing the valve not to open fully. This will restrict the flow of blood into the right ventricle, which in turn restricts the flow of deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Tricuspid valve stenosis is relatively uncommon when compared to stenosis of the aortic and mitral valves, but is caused by: Rheumatic fever.
