متن کاملTricuspid valve tethering predicts residual tricuspid regurgitation after tricuspid annuloplasty.

However, the impact of TV deformations on the outcome of TV annuloplasty remains unknown. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between preoperative TV deformation and residual TR after TV annuloplas...
