Congenital tricuspid incompetence.

Rare congenital malformations of the tricuspid valve or its attachment producing tricuspid insufficiency have been reported by a number of authors (Hotz, 1923; Ariel, 1930; Abbott, 1936; Dubin and Hollinshead, 1944; Palladino and Kinney, 1948; Barritt and Urich, 1956; Kincaid et al., 1962; Reisman et al., 1965; Jordan and Taylor, 1966). The purpose of the present communication is to report a ca...

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE Aberrant tendinous chords with tethering of the tricuspid leaflets: a congenital anomaly causing severe tricuspid regurgitation

Objective: To define the entity of tricuspid regurgitation caused by tethering of the tricuspid valve leaflets by aberrant tendinous chords. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Tertiary care centre (university teaching hospital). Patients: 10 patients with unexplained severe tricuspid regurgitation. Methods: The last 13 500 echocardiographic studies from our facility were reviewed to identify...

A case of tricuspid atresia with transposition of the great vessels.

There is no trustworthy estimate of the incidence of congenital heart disease as a whole, still less of tricuspid atresia. Doubtless many infants have died with tricuspid atresia, on whom no post-mortem examination was made, with merely a diagnosis of congenital heart disease or even unrelated diagnoses, since many of them succumb to infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, septicaemia. The fi...

Endocarditis of the tricuspid valve associated with congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula.
