Tricuspid Valve (TV) Repair Surgery in Turkey
Tricuspid valve repair and tricuspid valve replacement are procedures that treat diseases affecting the tricuspid valve, one of four valves that control blood flow through the hear.
The tricuspid valve helps to keep blood flowing through the heart in the correct direction. It separates the two upper and lower chambers (atria and ventricles) of one heart. The atria fill with blood from the body and lungs with each heart beat, and the ventricles contract to pump blood to the lungs and to the rest of the body.
Tricuspid valve repair or tricuspid valve replacement can treat tricuspid valve disease and help restore normal blood flow, decrease symptoms , improve some people’s survival, and help preserve your heart muscle function.
Types of tricuspid valve disease that may require treatment with tricuspid valve repair or replacement include:
- Tricuspid valve regurgitation
- Tricuspid valve stenosis
- Tricuspid atresia
After tricuspid valve repair or tricuspid valve replacement surgery, the goal is that you will eventually be able to return to daily activities, such as working, driving and exercise.
