Tricuspid Stenosis
Treatment of Tricuspid Stenosis
Diuretics andaldosteroneantagonists Rarely valve repair or replacement Evidence to guide treatment of tricuspid stenosis is scarce. Patients with symptoms who are not undergoing valve replacement or repair should receive a low-salt diet, diuretics, andaldosteroneantagonists. Patients with severe tricuspid stenosis should undergo intervention if they are symptomatic or if cardiac surgery is being done for other reasons. Percutaneous balloon tricuspid commissurotomy might be considered for severe TS in patients who cannot undergo surgical repair but only if there is no accompanying tricuspid regurgitation.
