Can tricuspid regurgitation recur after repair?

Whether or not tricuspid regurgitation will recur after tricuspid regurgitation surgery depends on which treatment is chosen and how well the primary disease is controlled. 1. If you choose to do valve replacement surgery to replace the original diseased valve with a prosthetic valve, then the tricuspid regurgitation phenomenon generally will not recur. However, long-term anticoagulant medication is required after surgery. 2. If you choose conservative treatment, first of all, the drug treatment is only for mild tricuspid regurgitation, can not achieve the effect of root cause, the disease may recur when aggravated. 3. If you choose to do valve repair surgery, in the original lesion valve repair treatment, this method for the patient is more ideal choice, after all, after repair can retain their own biological valve, the quality of life will be better after surgery. However, there is a possibility of re-destruction of the valve after repair, and recurrence is possible with inadequate maintenance of therapy. Recurrence is generally less likely when the primary disease is well controlled.
