Right ventricular dysfunction and significant tricuspid regurgitation are frequently seen in end stage heart failure patients undergoing Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation. Clinical impact of tricuspid valve repair at the time of LVAD implantation in patients with pre-existing significant tricuspid regurgitation has been a topic of debate for several years. Some groups have advo...

We report on the case of 5-year-old girl with severe tricuspid regurgitation following previous repair of double outlet right ventricle with subaortic ventricular septal defect, performed through trans-atrial approach using detachment of tricuspid valve leaflet. The severe tricuspid regurgitation was found to be due to dehiscence at the site of the previous detachment and was repaired using a p...

Introduction Considering the incidence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and its implications on functional status and long-term survival, TR is currently undertreated. With the increasing adoption of catheterbased treatments of other types of structural heart disease there is a growing interest and need for effective interventional treatment also for tricuspid regurgitation. Therefore, multiple ...

Blunt injury to the chest can affect any one or all components of the chest wall and thoracic cavity. The clinical presentation of patients with blunt chest trauma varies widely and ranges from minor reports of pain to florid shock. Traumatic tricuspid valve regurgitation is a rare cardiovascular complication of blunt chest trauma. Tricuspid valve regurgitation is usually begotten by disorders ...

Background—In patients with a right ventricle (RV) in the systemic position, tricuspid valve surgery for regurgitation beyond adolescence is a subject of debate. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the complications, survival, and benefit of tricuspid surgery in adult patients with an atrium-level correction for transposition of the great arteries or congenitally corrected transpositio...

Left atrial dissection does occur, though rarely, after mitral valve surgery. A 68-year-old Korean female presented with moderate mitral stenosis, mild mitral regurgitation, moderate tricuspid regurgitation and mild aortic regurgitation. She was scheduled for mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty. We experienced a left atrial dissection after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass an...

Severe tricuspid regurgitation resulting from a flail leaflet is a rare cause of neonatal cyanosis. We report a neonate with profound cyanosis and severe tricuspid regurgitation caused by a rupture of the papillary muscle supporting the anterior leaflet, without other structural heart defects. Ductal patency could not be established. The repair of the tricuspid valve was performed after initial...

Background Tricuspid regurgitation is frequently present in patients with mitral valve disease and most of this tricuspid are significant.
 Objective To find out the prevalence adult our hospital who planned for isolated surgery stenosis, or both. Patients moderate severe were considered as Method This was retrospective cross-sectional study performed at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Cent...
