Most of the time its caused because of retrograde pulmonary hypertension, so if whatever is causing it is dealt with, the tricuspid regurgitation should stop, since its a functional response and not necessarily pathological. On the other hand, if it was caused by direct damage to the tricuspid valve, then it can't be repaired and has to be replaced with a prosthesis

What is the medical term meaning reverse flow of blood through the mitral or tricuspid valves?
Mitral regurgitation or tricuspid regurgitation is the medical term meaning backflow of blood through the mitral or tricuspid valves, respectively.
What is Tricuspid valve insufficiency?
Mitral valve insufficiency is a term used when the valve between the upper left chamber of the heart (atrium) and the lower left chamber (ventricle) does not close well enough to prevent back flow of blood when the ventricle contracts.
Which valve disorder can result in left heart failure?
aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation and mitral regurgitation
Are the tricuspid valves of the heart also called semilunar valves?
The tricuspid valves are different from the semilunar valves. The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve.
Where is the tricuspid valve found in the body?
The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle of the heart. It is the largest of the four valves in the heart.

What is the function of the right tricuspid valve when the right ventricle contracts?
It closes, preventing regurgitation of blood back into the right atrium.
What is Tricuspid valve insufficiency?
Mitral valve insufficiency is a term used when the valve between the upper left chamber of the heart (atrium) and the lower left chamber (ventricle) does not close well enough to prevent back flow of blood when the ventricle contracts.
What is the plural word for tricuspid?
Tricuspids is the plural of tricuspid
How many papillary muscles are located in the right ventricle?
The right ventricle of the heart typically contains three papillary muscles: anterior, posterior, and septal. These muscles attach to the tricuspid valve leaflets via chordae tendineae to help prevent valve regurgitation.
If the tendinous cord is not present and the right ventricle is contracted where would blood go?
The blood would go back up into the right atrium instead of preceding to the pulmonary arteries because the tendinous cords cause the tricuspid valve to open and close based on which state of the cardiac cycle the heart is in.
What type of regurgitation causes backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium?
Mitral regurgitation
Which valve disorder can result in left heart failure?
aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation and mitral regurgitation
What is blood flow from tricuspid valve from feet?
The Tricuspid valve is in the heart, not the feet
Are the tricuspid valves of the heart also called semilunar valves?
The tricuspid valves are different from the semilunar valves. The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve.
