Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation after Orthotopic Heart Transplantation: Prevalence and Etiology

Background. Tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is common. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of TR after OHT, to examine the correlation between its development and various variables, and to determine its outcomes. Methods. All 163 OHT patients who were followed up between 1988 and 2009 for a minimal period of 12 months were divi...

Tricuspid 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...

Secondary tricuspid valve regurgitation: a forgotten entity

To cite: Tornos Mas P, Rodríguez-Palomares JF, Antunes MJ. Heart 2015;101:1840–1848. INTRODUCTION The tricuspid valve was virtually ignored for a long time in the past. However, the incidence of tricuspid insufficiency associated with left valvular disease is quite significant, ranging from 8% to 35% of cases. 2 This is most common in conjunction with mitral valve disease but association with a...
