Why tricuspid valve replacement is not recommended

The tricuspid valve can be replaced, but the requirements for surgery are high. The surgery requires strict surgical indications as well as timing of the surgery, which is risky and difficult to operate, and the requirements for postoperative care are also very high. The tricuspid valve has a slow blood flow rate and the blood pressure in the right ventricle is not high, which makes it easy for thrombus to occur after tricuspid valve replacement. Moreover, the requirements for the valve replacement surgery are very high and the operation is difficult, which requires a strict evaluation of the right ventricular function before the operation, and the operation can only be carried out in patients who meet the surgical indications. Patients with severely damaged valve leaflets and tricuspid valve downward deformity belong to the indications for tricuspid valve replacement surgery, and need to improve the relevant examinations to determine that they meet the surgical conditions for surgical treatment. Tricuspid valve replacement surgery is very demanding and requires patients to follow the doctor’s instructions and actively cooperate with the treatment.
