Treatment

Depending on the severity of your tricuspid valve stenosis and your symptoms, your treatment may include the following:

Monitoring the tricuspid valve’s function with regular echocardiograms
Implementing a low-sodium (salt) diet
Taking medication such as diuretics or aldosterone antagonists, which help rid your body of sodium and water
Having a balloon valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure in which your doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube (catheter) with a balloon on its tip into the tricuspid valve and gently inflates it to force open the valve and temporarily improve blood flow
Having open-heart surgery to repair or replace the tricuspid valve

If left untreated, tricuspid valve stenosis may eventually lead to the following complications:

An enlarged right atrium can affect the pressure and blood flow in the nearby chambers and veins
Heart failure
Liver failure
Atrial fibrillation (Afib)
Endocarditis
Stroke
