Hello, sir. Mitral regurgitation 1.5/4 and tricuspid valve 2/4 are mild regurgitation, if the leaflets are soft, there is no treatment. If the leaflets are thickened and there is associated stenosis, then surgery should be considered depending on the stenosis, the size of the chambers, and the heart function.
