Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on establishing reference values for the tricuspid annulus (TA) geometry in a Japanese population, which is important for tricuspid valve surgery related to tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
- Using 3D echocardiography, researchers analyzed data from 96 healthy Japanese subjects and found that TA area and circumference strongly correlate with body surface area, while age has a weaker correlation.
- Gender differences in TA geometry were significant in younger subjects, with males showing larger TA area and smaller diameters compared to females, but these differences lessened with age.
A 76-year-old man who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention suffered intermittent claudication. Duplex ultrasonography revealed superficial femoral artery stenosis with an intraluminal heterogeneous echogenic mass. We suspected that stenosis was caused by the puncture procedure of the Angio-Seal.
