Reconstructive surgery of mitral valve incompetence: ten-year appraisal.

TL;DR: Comparison between the various groups shows that the best results were obtained in type II mitral incompetence, followed by type I and type III mitral incompetent, and predictable and stable long-term results have been achieved by techniques of valvular reconstruction with a low incidence of thromboembolism.

Conservative Management of Tricuspid Regurgitation in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement

TL;DR: In patients with advanced mitral valve disease, associated tricuspid regurgitation is of a functional nature and secondary to right ventricular hypertension and dilatation of the tricsuspid annulus, the present results indicate that in such patients tric Suspid Regurgitation will improve or disappear after mitral replacement and that tricwing valve replacement is seldom necessary.

Surgery for tricuspid regurgitation late after mitral valve replacement

TL;DR: It appears that serious tricuspid valve insufficiency after mitral valve replacement frequently signals right ventricular failure and dilatation; restoring valve competence is palliative.
