Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is the most frequent etiology of tricuspid valve pathology in Western countries. In the last years, many investigators have reported evidence in favor of a more aggressive surgical approach to FTR and interest has been growing in the physiopathology and treatment of FTR. The purpose of this editorial is to explore the anatomical basis, pathophysiology, therapeutic approaches and the perspectives of treatment.
功能性三尖瓣反流（FTR）是西方国家三尖瓣病变最常见的病因。近年来，许多研究者报告了支持对FTR采取更积极手术方法的证据，并且对FTR的生理病理学和治疗的兴趣也在不断增加。这篇社论的目的是探讨其解剖学基础、病理生理学、治疗方法及治疗前景。
