The optimal management of functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) in the setting of mitral valve operations remains controversial. The current practice is both centre specific and surgeon specific with guidelines based on non-randomized data. A prospective randomized trial was performed to evaluate the worth of less-than-severe FTR repair during mitral valve procedures.
