Isolated tricuspid stenosis.

چکیده
A case is reported of isolated tricuspid stenosis with a 5-year hemodynamic followup after a tricuspid commissurotomy. Fusion of the commissures and chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve was noted at surgery. There was a history of rheumatic fever, and 5 years after surgery mild mitral stenosis had developed. Seven previously reported cases of isolated tricuspid stenosis have been considered by some authors to be congenital in origin, and, therefore, isolated tricuspid stenosis of rheumatic origin is thought to be established for the first time.

Isolated tricuspid stenosis.
Isolated tricuspid stenosis is rare but it may be rheumatic (Durosiez, I868; Gordon et al., 1957; Killip and Lukas, I958), congenital (Lewis, I945), due to disseminated lupus erythematosus (Gibson and Wood, 1955), or of unknown aetiology (Krook, Biorck, and Wulff, I955; Sapirstein and Baker, I963). Most commonly tricuspid stenosis is a sequel to rheumatic fever and then it is almost invariably ...
متن کاملIsolated tricuspid valve stenosis--probably of rheumatic etiology.
Rheumatic heart disease is still a common cardiac disease in developing countries. Triscupid valve is not usually involved in RHD and whenever it is involved, it is always associated with mitral valve disease. We report a case of isolated tricuspid stenosis, most likely of rheumatic etiology.
متن کاملMinor congenital variations of cusp size in tricuspid aortic valves. Possible link with isolated aortic stenosis.
Clinically isolated aortic stenosis is most commonly caused by a congenitally malformed aortic valve. Many elderly patients with isolated aortic stenosis have a tricuspid aortic valve. It has been suggested in the past that inequalities in individual cusp size could be a factor leading to the development of the stenoses in these cases. In this study the width and height of individual aortic val...

متن کاملDiagnosis and Treatment of Tricuspid Stenosis.
It has often been pointed out that tricuspid stenosis occurs much more frequently than it is diagnosed. This may be because it so rarely occurs as a single valvular defect (although such cases have been described), because there are no characteristic symptoms, and because clinical signs are often inconspicuous. In the past, it has not been considered of much practical importance to make the dia...
