Mayo Clinic's approach

Interdisciplinary teamwork at Mayo Clinic Interdisciplinary teamwork at Mayo Clinic

At Mayo Clinic, a multidisciplinary team works together to provide expert care to people with tricuspid valve disease.

Your Mayo Clinic care team

At Mayo Clinic, a team of cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and other healthcare professionals work together to provide coordinated, comprehensive care for people who need tricuspid valve repair or tricuspid valve replacement.

Collaborative care

Healthcare professionals at Mayo Clinic take the time to get to know you and work with you to provide exactly the treatment you need. If you have other heart conditions besides tricuspid valve disease that need surgery, surgeons may do the procedures at the same time.

Advanced technology and treatment

People who come to Mayo Clinic for tricuspid valve repair or tricuspid valve replacement have access to advanced testing and treatment. Mayo Clinic healthcare professionals use cardiac MRI and other imaging tests to evaluate tricuspid valve disease and help plan the treatment that is right for you.

Mayo Clinic cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons offer the latest tricuspid valve disease treatment options, including minimally invasive heart surgery and robot-assisted heart surgery. Minimally invasive heart surgery involves smaller surgical cuts compared with open-heart surgery and may result in a quicker recovery.

Heart MRI (cardiac MRI)

A heart MRI, also called a cardiac MRI, provides still or moving pictures of the heart. It can show changes in blood flow through the heart and heart valves. A cardiac MRI often is used to diagnose tricuspid valve disease.

Pediatric cardiologists and pediatric cardiovascular surgeons at Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota have experience treating children with tricuspid valve disease and congenital heart conditions, including Ebstein anomaly.

Valve conditions in children and Ebstein anomaly

Cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgeons at Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota use the most advanced techniques, including minimally invasive heart surgery and robot-assisted heart surgery to treat tricuspid valve disease. Our skilled surgeons can do complex, specialized treatments that are not available elsewhere.

Nationally recognized expertise

Mayo Clinic campuses are nationally recognized for expertise in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery:

  • The Adult Congenital Heart Disease Association (ACHA) has designated the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Clinic at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, as an ACHA/ACHD Accredited Comprehensive Care Center.

    This accreditation was achieved because the ACHD Clinic meets personnel requirements, offers specific medical services, and uses policies and procedures that help ensure the highest level of care for adults with congenital heart disease. This accreditation also signifies that Mayo Clinic has doctors with special expertise in diagnosing and treating congenital heart disease.

  • Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, Mayo Clinic in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, are ranked among the Best Hospitals for heart and heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report.
