Varies: Depending upon the underlying cause of ones tricuspid valve abnormality, it might be repaired or replaced. A repair could entail simply inserting a ring at the base of the valve (called the annulus) to tighten the valve and allow the leaflets to close completely, or it might require repair of the leaflets and support structure. A replacement might entail the use of a metallic or a tissue valve.
