TricValve Surgery/Procedure
About
What is the TricValve Procedure?
TricValve is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure designed for patients with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation who are not suitable candidates for open-heart surgery. Also called the transcatheter bicaval valve system, it implants two biological valves into the superior and inferior vena cava to manage the abnormal flow caused by a leaky tricuspid valve, reducing symptoms like leg swelling, liver congestion, and breathlessness.
Unlike conventional tricuspid valve repair surgery/procedure in Mumbai, this method avoids opening the chest or manipulating the native valve. The implanted valves reroute venous return, lowering stress on the heart and organs. For those seeking alternatives to tricuspid valve replacement surgery, TricValve offers a safer, faster-recovery option guided by expert heart surgeons in Mumbai.
Who It’s For?
Who Needs TricValve Surgery/Procedure?
Severe tricuspid valve regurgitation
A leaky tricuspid valve causes backward blood flow and often requires alternatives to surgical repair.
Right-sided heart failure symptoms
Includes swelling in the legs, fatigue, liver congestion, or shortness of breath.
Frequent hospital admissions for fluid overload
Ongoing need for treatment due to fluid retention and congestion.
Ineligible for open-heart surgery
Turned down for tricuspid valve repair or replacement due to high surgical risk.
Benefits of TricValve
What are the Benefits of TricValve Surgery/Procedure?
Minimally invasive
No need for open-heart surgery or chest bone cutting.
Local anesthesia
Performed without general anesthesia or use of a heart-lung machine.
Rapid recovery
Shorter hospital stay and minimal downtime compared to traditional surgery.
Symptom relief
Effectively reduces swelling, fatigue, and other signs of right heart failure.
Ideal for high-risk patients
Especially suited for elderly individuals or those unfit for surgery.
Native valve preservation
Does not remove or replace the tricuspid valve directly.
Outcomes of Procedure Delay
Risks of Delay of TricValve Surgery/Procedure
- Worsening right heart failure with fluid buildup and fatigue
- Persistent venous congestion causing leg swelling and ascites
- Progressive liver and kidney dysfunction
- Reduced device anchoring success due to vein dilation
- Increased frailty, raising future procedural risks
- Declining quality of life with limited physical activity
Procedure Timeline
TricValve Procedure Timeline & Recovery
Day 1
Admission, echocardiography, CT scan, and blood work to assess femoral and jugular vein access.
Day 2
TricValve implantation via femoral vein under local anesthesia. Two valves are positioned in the inferior and superior vena cava.
Day 3
Monitoring in ICU for valve positioning and right heart function.
Week 4-5
Discharge with medications to prevent clotting; post-op care instructions provided.
Week 1
Light activity can be resumed. Most patients report early relief from swelling and breathlessness.
Week 2-4
First follow-up with the cardiologist; echo to confirm valve position and function.
Week 6-8
Significant symptom improvement, reduced fluid retention, and enhanced energy levels.
