Tricuspid valve diseases: Interventions on the forgotten heart valve
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2020Over the past few decades, the tricuspid valve (TV) interventions have been relatively lower compared to other cardiac valvular disease in terms of pathophysiology and management, especially regarding surgical intervention and therapy. However, recent crucial advances in assessment and management of the TV disease have resulted in a renewed interest in
