2. Tricuspid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve

   The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle.The function of the valve is to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle during diastole, and to close to prevent backflow (regurgitation) from the right ventricle into the right atrium during right ventricular ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_replacement

   Valve replacement surgery is the replacement of one or more of the heart valves with either an artificial heart valve or a bioprosthesis (homograft from human tissue or xenograft e.g. from pig). It is an alternative to valve repair .

   The Abbott device, TriClip, aims to treat tricuspid regurgitation (TR), which occurs when the valve separating the right lower chamber of the heart from the right upper does not close properly ...

5. Tricuspid valve stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve_stenosis

   Tricuspid valve stenosis itself usually does not require treatment. If stenosis is mild, monitoring the condition closely suffices. However, severe stenosis, or damage to other valves in the heart, may require surgical repair or replacement. The treatment is usually by surgery (tricuspid valve replacement) or percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty ...

   The Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies business segment involves the research and development of transcatheter heart valve repair and replacement technologies designed to treat mitral and tricuspid valve diseases. [26] Many of these technologies are in early development and clinical phases, with seven programs and four clinical trials ...

7. Heart valve repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_valve_repair

   Mitral valve repair is mainly used to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. [citation needed] A mitral balloon valvuloplasty enlarges the valve opening to allow greater oxygenated blood flow into the left ventricle, and since severe mitral regurgitation can be a major complication, degrees of stenosis, regurgitation, and valve anatomical features are taken ...
