Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation<br />
Pulmonary hypertension<br />
In practice, complete reverse right ventricular remodeling practically<br />
not occur, and normalization of pulmonary artery pressures alone<br />
will not eliminate tricuspid regurgitation in many patients<br />
(This is well demonstrated in the pulmonary thromboendarterectomy<br />
literature, in which moderate to severe secondary tricuspid<br />
regurgitation is reported postoperatively in 30% to 45% of patients<br />
despite successful reduction in pulmonary arterial pressure)
