## Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation, once considered a relatively benign condition, has now
gathered significant attention due to new evidence showing its impact on both
short- and long-term follow-up. While surgical intervention remains the
established standard approach for treating severe tricuspid regurgitation,
current guidelines provide Class I indication for intervention in only a limited
set of scenarios. This review delves into the present and future perspectives of
surgical tricuspid regurgitation management, examining aspects such as disease
prognosis, surgical indications, outcomes, and a comprehensive overview of past
and upcoming clinical trials.
