Among the main pathologies of the tricuspid valve are narrowing of its diameter, or stenosis, insufficiency (the leaflets do not close tightly), and congenital defects (atresia – the ventricles are unevenly developed, Ebstein's anomaly – displacement of the leaflets).
Treatment of tricuspid valve defects in Israel involves the use of medications and surgical intervention.
- Medication Therapy. The Top Ichilov Medical Center uses modern medications that are effective against the pathology and safe for the body. In treating tricuspid valve defects, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, glycosides, etc. are prescribed. The goal of using medications is to lower blood pressure, improve circulation, reduce the frequency and strength of heart contractions, coronary artery spasms, and more. Individual selection of medications allows for maximum effect and reduces the development of side effects.
- Surgical Intervention. Cardiac surgeons at Top Ichilov mostly prefer minimally invasive surgeries performed on a beating heart. Annuloplasty is a procedure to strengthen the valve base and fix the leaflets in the correct position using a ring or sutures. Annuloplasty achieves complete closure of the leaflets and normalization of circulation. During leaflet correction, the cardiac surgeon separates fused leaflets, restores their shape, and sutures tears. This means correcting defects in their structure. Valve replacement with an artificial prosthesis is performed via a transcatheter approach. Biological or mechanical implants (made from composite materials) are used, which are safe, hypoallergenic, and integrate well. Transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty is used to increase the lumen in stenosis using a balloon, which is brought to the stenosis area and inflated primarily with liquid to avoid embolism, thereby increasing the valve lumen. After achieving normal parameters, the liquid is released from the balloon, and the balloon is removed along with the catheter.

Diagnosis of Tricuspid Valve Defects in Israel
In the presence of cardiovascular pathologies, it is very important to conduct examinations quickly and efficiently, as any delay may worsen the patient's condition.
First Day. From the Airport – to the Doctor's Appointment
Immediately upon arrival in the country, the patient, accompanied by a representative from the international department, goes to the clinic. There, a cardiac surgeon is already waiting for them. The specialist conducts an examination, reviews the data from previous studies, and prescribes additional tests if necessary.
Second Day. Comprehensive Examination in One Day
- Laboratory tests of urine and blood.
- CT, MRI.
- Angiography of the vessels.
- Chest X-ray.
- Auscultation.
- Electrocardiographic examination.
- Traditional and transesophageal echocardiography.
- Exercise testing.
- Cardiac catheterization if necessary, etc.
Third Day. Individual Treatment Plan
Evaluating the results of tests and studies, the medical board decides which medications and in what dosage should be chosen for medication therapy and whether surgical intervention is necessary (if so, to what extent). Considering the peculiarities of the disease's progression, the patient's condition, and age when planning the therapy strategy allows for high effectiveness and avoids medical errors.
