A member asked:

My daughter has hlhs and she has had her final surgery the fontan. mild leaking of the tricuspid valve. prognosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrong issue: Her prognosis is not determined by tricuspid regurgitation - that's benign and present in 99% of normal people. Her prognosis is determined by the completeness and durability of her repair. I wish her best wishes.
