What Is The Treatment For The Mild Leak Of The Tricuspid Valve Having The Replacement Done?
I had 2 valve replacement 4years ago in May of mitral and aortic and mild leak of the tricuspid valve.
The cardios at that time said it can be to control with meds but by Christmas that same year it leaking severely that I have bloated stomach and liver and on 60mg day diuretics.
Any doctors out there with any info at all???
I had mechanical valves put in cause I don't want to go through open heart surgery again.

tricuspid valve regurgitation is severe and you have CCF.
a good surgeon will offer you tricuspid valve repair.replacing tricuspid valve is not giving good results.so if no repair continue with decongestive medicines.
