Thrombus Formation on the Tricuspid Valve After De Vega’s Annuloplasty and Repair of Endocardial Cushion Defect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endocardial cushion defect (ECD) can be partial (with two distinct valves) or complete (only one atrioventricular valve), and surgical therapy is usually required. The optimal surgical technique is controversial but De Vega's annuloplasty is widely performed. Tricuspid valve thrombosis are rarely seen after surgery. We present a 39-year-old male patient with tricuspid valve thrombosis after De Vega's annuloplasty without the use of a ring.

Surgical repair of a common atrium in an adult.
We report a rare successful surgical repair of a common atrium (CA) with mild tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation due to valvular annulus enlargement in a 39-year-old man, who had a complete atrial septum defect (ASD) without the characteristic of an endocardial cushion defect. The left-to-right shunt ratio was 85 percent and the Qp/Qs was 6.7 due to the CA. Left ventriculogram revealed no evide...
متن کاملRepair of Double Orifice Left AV Valve (DOLAVV) with Endocardial Cushion Defect in Adult
Double orifice left atrioventricular valve (DOLAVV) or double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly manifesting either as an isolated lesion (mitral stenosis or mitral insufficiency) or in association with other congenital cardiac defects. Signs of mitral valve disease are usually present along with the symptoms of associated coexistent congenital heart diseases. Mitr...
متن کاملReply to Myers et al.
The authors agree with Myers et al. [1] that biodegradable materials represent a useful alternative in the management of tricuspid valve endocarditis repair. Our statement of dividing tricuspid valve repair choices in prosthetic and non-prosthetic techniques adequately sets the main cornerstones of surgical therapy: first, minimizing, as much as possible, the resulting valve regurgitation follo...
متن کاملHolt-Oram Syndrome: A Rare Variant
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
متن کاملTricuspid valve repair: is ring annuloplasty superior?
OBJECTIVES Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) secondary to left heart disease is the most common aetiology of tricuspid valve (TV) insufficiency. Valve annuloplasty is the primary treatment for TV insufficiency. Several studies have shown the superiority of annuloplasty with a prosthetic ring over other repair techniques. We reviewed our experience with different surgical techniques for the treatment...
