a ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm rarely accompanies the aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis. a 36-year-old woman presented with low-threshold dyspnea on exertion and fever. transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed a ruptured noncoronary sinus of valsalva aneurysm with large vegetations on the tricuspid and aortic valves, resulting in moderately severe tricuspid regurgi...

Transthoracic echocardiography revealed LV and RV noncompaction with mild LV systolic dysfunction (50%), Healed vegetation with ruptured chordae of anterior mitral leaflet, Grade 2 mitral regurgitation , Grade 2 tricuspid regurgitation with moderate pulmonary artery hypertension, Biatrial enlargement with no clot.

We review and compare our experience with tricuspid ring annuloplasty between usage of the Cosgrove-Edwards flexible band and the MC(3) rigid ring for repair of functional tricuspid regurgitation to determine the efficacy and mid-term durability of tricuspid annuloplasty. 117 patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation undergoing open heart surgery and tricuspid valve repair from May 2005 ...

An inverted Edwards SAPIEN 23 mm valve was implanted in a 14-year-old patient with Ebstein's anomaly who received a Medtronic Mosaic 25 mm valve 8 years earlier and presented with significant progressive symptoms related to severe valvular regurgitation and moderate stenosis. The procedure was performed via the femoral vein using the RetroFlex 3 system and predilatation of the tricuspid valve, ...

In about 80% of the population, a small degree of tricuspid insufficiency occurs and therefore is considered almost physiological [1]. Higher mortality has been described among patients with moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation compared to patients without it, irrespective of the pulmonary pressure value or systolic function of the left and right ventricle [2–4]. A fourfold increase in t...

Abstract Background Moderate TR is a frequent condition, worsening mid and long-term survival, particularly in patients >75 years old, those suffering from left ventricular systolic dysfunction. As often clinically unsuspected until an advanced stage of congestive heart failure (HF), there great need early diagnosis appropriate follow-up. However, data focusing on the clinical echocardio...

Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium involving both ventricles is a rare entity. Here we report a rare case of biventricular noncompaction presenting with features of fetal distress and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Noncompaction of both ventricles was diagnosed at birth.

Background: Functional tricuspid regurgitation is a challenge regarding indications for repair and proper surgical technique. Aim of the study: We reviewed our midterm results of tricuspid valve repair for functional regurgitation comparing pericardial strip versus ring annuloplasties. Patients and methods: From January 2008 to December 2013, we operated 59 patients (male:female, 41:18, with a ...

BACKGROUND Parachute tricuspid valve is a rare congenital malformations explained in the literature. In most cases, this malformation coexists with other congenital defects. The importance of this condition depends on its functional consequences. CASE REPORT First case was a 52-year-old female patient presented with palpitation. She had a history of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Tr...
