The diagnosis of tricuspid valve disease is often difficult; the best treatment is not yet established. Twenty patients had tricuspid valve replacements at St. Thomas's Hospital as part of multiple valve replacement procedures. The hospital mortality was 25%, most deaths being due to a low cardiac output causing hepatorenal failure. Preoperative cardiac cachexia had a fatal outcome in all cases. Except in two instances, surviving patients returned to a satisfactory level of activity.
三尖瓣疾病的诊断往往很困难;最佳治疗方法尚未确定。在圣托马斯医院,20名患者在进行多瓣膜置换手术时接受了三尖瓣置换。医院死亡率为25%,大多数死亡是由于心输出量低导致肝肾衰竭。术前心脏恶病质在所有病例中都导致了致命的结果。除两例外,存活患者恢复到了令人满意的活动水平。
