AB Tricuspid  stenosis  (TS),  which  is  much  less  prevalent  than  mitral  stenosis  (MS)  in  North  America  and  Western  Europe,  is  generally  rheumatic  in  origin,  and  is  more  common  in  women  than  men  (Table  261-1).  It  does  not  occur  as  an  isolated  lesion  and  is  usually  associated  with  MS.  Hemodynamically  significant  TS  occurs  in  5–10%  of  patients  with  severe  MS;  rheumatic  TS  is  commonly  associated  with  some  degree  of  tricuspid  regurgitation  (TR).  Nonrheumatic  causes  of  TS  are  rare.
