ABSTRACT
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has in recent literature been described as an independently progressive disorder associated with a poor prognosis. Studies have emphasized the importance of a more proactive approach in treating TR in order to prevent progression of right ventricular dysfunction and ultimately right heart failure. These findings have renewed interest in surgical treatment for isolated TR whilst also fueling rapid advancements in transcatheter therapies, as argued in this review.
