Is tricuspid valve really tricuspid?
Advancement in imaging techniques and interventional cardiology procedures have generated renewed interest in anatomy of tricuspid valve complex. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the morphology of tricuspid valve leaflets using objective criteria. Thirty-six embalmed cadaveric hearts were utilized for the present study. Leaflet morphology was studied using newly defined crit...
متن کاملTricuspid valve tethering predicts residual tricuspid regurgitation after tricuspid annuloplasty.
BACKGROUND Tricuspid valve (TV) annuloplasty is recommended for functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR), which is caused by TV annulus dilatation and tethering of the leaflets. 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...

Symptoms depend upon the severity of stenosis and associated lesions.

متن کاملTricuspid valve endocarditis.
TVE is mainly a disease of intravenous drug abusers. Although the infecting organisms are often highly virulent, they frequently respond to medical treatment. The prognosis for patients with TVE is fairly good. About 25% of TVE patients require surgical intervention. Persistent sepsis and intractable congestive heart failure are indications for surgery. Tricuspid valvulectomy without prosthetic...
متن کاملTricuspid valve endocarditis.
Tricuspid valve endocarditis is a disease primarily found in intravenous drug abusers. It occurs much less often than left-sided endocarditis and has a better prognosis. The triad of intravenous drug abuse, Staphylococcus aureus septicemia, and pulmonary embolism with or without a tricuspid regurgitation murmur can be pathognomonic for tricuspid valve endocarditis. Pulmonary signs and symptoms ...
