Can tricuspid Regurgitation be repaired?
Most of the time its caused because of retrograde pulmonary hypertension, so if whatever is causing it is dealt with, the tricuspid regurgitation should stop, since its a functional response and not necessarily pathological. On the other hand, if it was caused by direct damage to the tricuspid valve, then it can't be repaired and has to be replaced with a prosthesis
