About Triscupid Valve Repair

Tricuspid valve repair is a specialized cardiac surgery performed to correct dysfunction of the tricuspid valve, which regulates blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with tricuspid regurgitation (leaky valve) or, less commonly, stenosis (narrowed valve). The goal is to preserve the patient's own valve tissue, restoring its proper function and preventing the long-term complications of right-sided heart failure. Surgeons may use various techniques, including annuloplasty (tightening the valve ring with a support device), leaflet repair, or chordal repair. Compared to valve replacement, repair offers significant advantages, including avoiding the need for lifelong blood thinners and preserving better long-term heart function. This procedure is often performed alongside other heart surgeries, such as mitral or aortic valve operations.

Key Highlights

    Preserves the patient's own natural heart valve tissue.Often avoids the need for lifelong anticoagulation (blood thinner) medication required with mechanical valve replacements.Associated with lower risk of infection (endocarditis) compared to prosthetic valves.Can improve long-term survival and heart function compared to valve replacement in suitable candidates.May be performed using minimally invasive techniques in select patients, leading to smaller scars and potentially faster recovery.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Severe tricuspid regurgitation (leakage) causing symptoms like fatigue, leg swelling, or abdominal fullness.
  • Progressive enlargement of the right ventricle or worsening heart function due to valve leakage.
  • Tricuspid valve disease occurring as a secondary problem due to left-sided heart valve issues (like mitral valve disease).
  • Certain cases of tricuspid stenosis (narrowing) that restrict blood flow.
  • Prevention of future heart complications during other planned cardiac surgeries (prophylactic repair).
  • Damage to the valve from endocarditis (infection) that can be safely repaired.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive cardiac evaluation including echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, and possibly a CT scan or MRI.
  • Pre-operative blood tests, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram (ECG).
  • Consultation with the cardiac surgeon, anesthesiologist, and possibly a cardiologist to discuss the plan and risks.
  • Management of existing medications; patients may need to stop blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin several days prior.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery.
  • Pre-operative shower with antiseptic soap to reduce skin bacteria.
  • Arranging for support and care at home during the recovery period.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding during or after surgery, which may require blood transfusion or re-operation.
  • Risk of infection, including surgical site infection or serious heart infection (endocarditis).
  • Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), which may require temporary or permanent pacemaker implantation.
  • Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to blood clots or air bubbles.
  • Kidney dysfunction, often temporary, related to the heart-lung machine.
  • Adverse reactions to anesthesia.
  • Failure of the repair, potentially requiring a repeat surgery or valve replacement in the future.
  • Rarely, death.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial recovery in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for 1-2 days for close monitoring of heart, lung, and vital functions.
  • Hospital stay focuses on pain management, breathing exercises, and gradual mobilization.
  • Temporary tubes (chest tubes, urinary catheter) and wires (pacemaker leads) are removed as recovery progresses.
  • Discharge with detailed instructions on wound care, activity restrictions, and medication schedules.
  • Participation in a structured cardiac rehabilitation program is strongly recommended to regain strength and endurance safely.
  • Regular follow-up appointments with the cardiologist and surgeon, including echocardiograms, to monitor valve function.
  • Avoidance of heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kg) and strenuous activities for the period advised by the surgical team.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-10 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

Vikram Joshi, a 58-year-old software architect...

Vikram Joshi, a 58-year-old software architect and father of two, had always been active. For the past two years, he'd been battling persistent fatigue and swelling in his legs and abdomen. Simple tasks like climbing stairs left him breathless. His history included a childhood bout of rheumatic fever. After multiple hospital visits for fluid buildup, a cardiologist diagnosed severe tricuspid regurgitation, likely a late consequence of the old fever. The doctor explained that his heart was struggling, and medication alone wasn't enough; a surgical repair was needed to fix the leaky valve and prevent further heart damage. Terrified of open-heart surgery, Vikram feared for his family's future. The surgery was long, but successful. In the ICU, he felt vulnerable but was buoyed by his family's support. Recovery in the hospital was a slow, painful process of regaining strength. Six months later, the swelling is gone, his energy is returning, and he can play with his grandchildren again. The emotional weight of constant illness has lifted, replaced by profound gratitude and a cautious optimism for the years ahead.
