Hello Elizabeth, I also have Tricuspid, moderate to severe. I am so happy to see someone else here with same. It is almost impossible to find others like us. I am being watched and have an echo every six months. My next one is July 17th downtown Chicago at Northwestern, where I have been going for past 5 years following my tricuspid as well as an anuerytic ascending aortic artery which is at 4.1 at this time. What are your symptoms and where are you going for care? Northwestern In Chicago is one of the hospitals doing the new surgery for tricuspid, and I hope my situation stays the same for a few more years until they have perfected the surgery and had more experience with it. Here is my convo woth my Cardiac specialist office asking about it; Hello, I am wondering if Northwestern is one of the hospitals doing the Evoque Tricuspid replacement valve by Edwards?
