Repair or replacement for isolated tricuspid valve pathology?: insights from a surgical analysis on long-term survival

Current American Heart Association guidelines equally recommend repair and replacement when surgical intervention is indicated. Our aim was to investigate and compare operative mortality and long-term survival in patients undergoing isolated tricuspid valve repair surgery versus replacement.
