Abstract:: 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.
