Brief Summary:

Isolated tricuspid surgery has been performed for a long time in a few selected cases, however in recent years several studies have underlined how the poor outcomes described for isolated tricuspid valve surgery seem to be related to the baseline characteristics of the patients and to late referral for surgical…
