Tricuspid valve regurgitation care at Mayo Clinic

Mayo Clinic provides surgical treatment, including tricuspid valve repair and tricuspid valve replacement, for people with heart valve disease.

Your Mayo Clinic care team

Mayo Clinic doctors trained in heart disease (cardiologists), heart surgery (cardiac surgeons) and other healthcare professionals work together to evaluate and treat people with tricuspid valve regurgitation. This team approach means healthcare professionals often can evaluate you and develop a personalized treatment plan within 2 to 3 days.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment. With state-of-the-art research and laboratory facilities, Mayo Clinic tricuspid valve experts use advanced technology and imaging tests to accurately diagnose heart valve disease. They work together to find the cause of your symptoms and to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.

Surgical experience and expertise. Cardiovascular surgeons at Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota have extensive experience and expertise in treating tricuspid valve regurgitation and other heart diseases with advanced surgical techniques in adults and children. Surgeons at Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona and Florida also do tricuspid valve regurgitation surgery for adults.

Treatment expertise. Mayo Clinic heart specialists have experience providing treatment for tricuspid valve regurgitation caused by a variety of conditions, including:

  • Ebstein anomaly. Mayo Clinic cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons have many years of experience in treating this congenital heart condition.
  • Carcinoid heart disease. Mayo Clinic cardiologists are experts in evaluating and treating carcinoid heart disease, a rare condition that causes thickening of the tricuspid valve.
  • Heart device leads. Wires used in pacemakers and defibrillators go across the tricuspid valve. This may cause tricuspid valve regurgitation. Mayo Clinic surgeons have expertise in special techniques to fix or replace the tricuspid valve while repositioning the device wires.
