[HSF] Tricuspid Disease and Jaundice

Michael,
  I'm not sure what SESATS says, but I've definitely seen jaundice as a result of severe TR.

Just reviewing some SESATS questions (adult cardiac IX) and in a question about tricuspid valve disease the answer is basically stenosis can cause jaundice while TR does not. 
 
Maybe I am missing something obvious (although I do not recall a jaundice patient from TR in the absence of other liver disease, though do see a lot of chirrosis) I dont see much TS. Can someone shed some light on this?
