Abstract
Tricuspid valve operations continue to be among the most infrequently performed cardiac surgical procedures. An analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database reported only approximately 5000 tricuspid valve procedures performed per year, and most of these procedures were repairs.1 Tricuspid valve replacement is therefore even less common, especially when it is performed in isolation. The possible reason for this is that the only class I recommendation for tricuspid surgery is given to combined procedures performed at the time of left-sided valve operations.
