Severe tricuspid valve (TV) disease has a strong association with right ventricle dysfunction, heart failure and mortality. Nevertheless, surgical indications for isolated TV disease are still uncommon. The purpose of this study is to analyze outcomes of patients undergoing minimally invasive isolated TV surgery (ITVS). Methods. Data of patients undergoing right mini-thoracotomy ITVS were prospectively collected. A subgroup analysis was performed on late referral patients. Five-year survival was assessed using the Kaplan\u2013Meier survival estimate. Results. Eighty-one consecutive patients were enrolled; late referral was recorded in 8 out of 81 (9.9%). No cases of major vascular complications nor of stroke were reported. A 30-day mortality was reported in one patient (1.2%). Five-year Kaplan\u2013Meier survival analysis revealed a significant difference between late referral patients and the control group (p = 0.01); late referral and Euroscore II were found to be significantly associated with reduced mid-term survival (p = 0.005 and p = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions. To date, perioperative mortality in patients undergoing ITVS is still consistently high, even in high-volume, high-experienced centres, and this accounts for the low rate of referral. Results from our report show that, with proper multidisciplinary management, appropriate pre-operative screening, and allocation to the safest approach, ITVS may offer better results than expected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13113144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,27]],"date-time":"2024-05-27T10:12:27Z","timestamp":1716804747000},"page":"3144","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Surgical Treatment for Isolated Tricuspid Valve Disease: A Less Invasive Approach for Better Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Cristina","family":"Barbero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3728-4863","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Pocar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dario","family":"Brenna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Costamagna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiac Intensive Care, Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency Department, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Aloi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1867-7463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cecilia","family":"Capozza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0194-142X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Filippini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiac Intensive Care, Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency Department, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna Chiara","family":"Trompeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiac Intensive Care, Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency Department, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1032-9155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Salizzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7059-0622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Brazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiac Intensive Care, Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency Department, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mauro","family":"Rinaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza, University of Turin, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"405","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2003.09.036","article-title":"Impact of tricuspid regurgitation on long-term survival","volume":"43","author":"Nath","year":"2004","journal-title":"J.
