Functional tricuspid regurgitation is mainly caused by left heart disease, specifically mitral or aortic valve disease, but the etiology is multi-factorial. The functional tricuspid regurgitation had been ignored due to the previous recognition of â??the disease of forgotten valveâ?. However, the correction of functional tricuspid regurgitation is recognized as the procedure influencing the prognosis of the function of right heart recently and the studies for this have been introduced. The author wants to explain the pathophysiology of the functional tricuspid regurgitation and when and how to fix the tricuspid valve for functional tricuspid regurgitation, especially which is better suture or ring annuloplasty, in the perspective of cardiac surgeon.
