Tricuspid Valve Disease: New Research & Treatment Options with Dr. Gorav Ailawadi

https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - The tricuspid valve is often referred to as the "Forgotten Valve" in medical circles. However, there is new research suggesting that patient awareness to the management and treatment of tricuspid valve disease should quickly increase.

In this special video, we interview Dr. Gorav Ailawadi, the Chair of Cardiac Surgery at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a tricuspid valve specialist.

Key points covered in this video interview with Dr. Ailawadi include:

- The insidious symptoms of tricuspid valve disease (e.g. swelling of the ankles).
- Sensitivity of the tricuspid valve and the right side of the heart.
- Additional risk for tricuspid valve surgery.
- A recoil comparison of the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
- New transcatheter devices that are either available or in clinical trials for tricuspid valve treatment (e.g. TriClip and EVOQUE) using minimally-invasive approaches.
- Impact of pacemaker implant on tricuspid valve regurgitation.
- Advice for patients who have tricuspid valve disease specific to symptom monitoring, echocardiograms, and patient advocacy.
