Correction of concomitant tricuspid insufficiency in isolated aortic stenosis is reviewed in this article. Incidence of left-sided heart valve disease followed by concomitant tricuspid insufficiency is 10—15%. Functional tricuspid regurgitation is observed in 90% of cases. Severe tricuspid insufficiency (Grade III—IV) occurs in 20—30% of patients undergoing surgery for aortic stenosis.
