Abstract
Leaflet tethering occurs in functional tricuspid regurgitation due to remodeling of the right ventricle. It is distinct from tricuspid annular dilatation although the two pathologies may coexist. When present, it needs to be addressed during tricuspid valve repair to achieve long term durability of the repair. It is one of the risk factors for recurrent tricuspid regurgitation following tricuspid annuloplasty. Tricuspid valve replacement is a reasonable option in severe tricuspid regurgitation with severe leaflet tethering if valve repair is not possible.
