The latest in tricuspid valve treatment
At NewYork-Presbyterian, our heart specialists are pioneers in minimally invasive procedures for managing tricuspid valve disease. These advanced techniques involve guiding a thin, flexible tube called a catheter through the groin to deliver repair or replacement devices directly to the valve. There are currently two FDA-approved transcatheter devices for the treatment of tricuspid regurgitation: one for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) and one for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).
Our team remains at the forefront of groundbreaking therapies for tricuspid valve disease, offering access to these cutting-edge devices as well as a wide range of therapies (valve repair or replacement) available through clinical trials. NewYork-Presbyterian's commitment to innovation ensures that patients get the most advanced and effective treatments available, now and in the future.
Tricuspid valve surgery
Minimally invasive surgery
Using this approach, your surgeon can repair or replace your damaged tricuspid valve through small incisions, and with great precision. Smaller incisions result in less discomfort after surgery and a faster recovery.
Robotic tricuspid valve surgery
Our teams include experts in the use of totally robotic endoscopic surgery to perform tricuspid valve repair or replacement. Robotic surgery is a form of minimally invasive heart surgery that uses dexterous robotic instruments and a robotically controlled 3D camera to perform surgery through very small incisions — with a degree of precision and visualization that would be difficult or impossible without them.
Open-heart surgery
You may need open-heart surgery if you have more than one damaged heart valve in need of treatment. Our experienced team provides open-heart surgery for some people with tricuspid valve disease, with exceptional outcomes.
"Hybrid" heart surgery
Our doctors are developing and evaluating new approaches that combine surgery and interventional cardiology techniques to treat some people with damaged heart valves.
