“…However, the optimal treatment strategy for invasive approaches is still intensively discussed. 1,2 Although the tricuspid valve has been referred to as the "forgotten valve", recently the clinical application of transcatheter treatment options has changed the recognition of the international cardiovascular community, and tricuspid valve disease became the focus of intense research. 2,3 Isolated tricuspid surgical procedures were associated with poor outcomes.…”

“…Furthermore, the MELD score, very simple to calculate, has been associated with the outcome of tricuspid surgery (not isolated). 15 The paper from Wang et al 1 Several parameters as beating heart technique or repair/replacement strategy as well as etiology were not considered in the risk model since no statistical association was detected in the univariate analysis. Strong data from the literature reported the prognostic role of beating heart repair strategy 16 or endocarditis etiology.…”

“…The paper from Wang et al 1 targets an important gap in current literature by reporting the external validation of three different scoring systems, the EuroSCORE II, the MELD score, and the STS‐TVS score for the prediction of operative mortality in patients undergoing isolated tricuspid surgery. The paper reported the results of a single‐center experience of 207 consecutive patients enrolled in a 14 years period at the Cleveland Clinic.…”

Background Isolated tricuspid surgery is a rarely performed procedure considered at high risk for mortality. Preoperative risk estimation is still a s missing process and currently used risk score system are not validated for this procedures. Aim To discuss the external validation of the EuroSCORE II and STS‐TVS score in the setting of isolated tricuspid valve surgery. Discussion The stratification of the patient profile and risk estimation are still lacking in isolated tricuspid surgery. MELD Score, EuroSCORE II and STS‐TVS score may help in the preoperative evaluation. Recently a dedicated score called TRI‐SCORE has been introduced. We believe that the combination of these scores may determine a range of expected mortality rate and it could be an interesting approach to define the preoperative risk‐profile of a patient planned for isolated tricuspid disease. Conclusion Further studies are needed to define the optimal risk stratification of patient affected by isolated tricuspid disease.
