AI Article Synopsis
- Between March 2008 and January 2009, three patients with tricuspid valve endocarditis resistant to medical treatment underwent a stentless tricuspid valve replacement (STVR).
- Intraoperative and follow-up echocardiograms showed the prosthetic valves functioning well with no signs of stenosis or regurgitation.
- The study suggests that STVR could be a viable surgical alternative to stented biological valves or homografts for patients in very high-risk situations.
Article Abstract
Between March 2008 and January 2009, a stentless tricuspid valve replacement (STVR) was performed in three patients with tricuspid valve endocarditis who were resistant to medical therapy. Intraoperative and follow-up echocardiograms revealed good prosthetic function without stenosis or regurgitation. This technique could be considered an additional surgical option to stented biological valves or homograft implantations in very high risk populations.

Tricuspid regurgitation can be due to different causes and mechanisms. Among these, cardiac involvement in carcinoid disease is a rare cause of tricuspid valve disease with a peculiar echocardiographic aspect. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman, with no past medical history, who was recently found to have a heart murmur and signs of right heart failure.

Background: The introduction of transcatheter procedures has focused on patient expectations for treatments with a less invasive approach and faster recovery. The aim of this study was to assess the short- and medium-term results in patients who underwent trans-axillary mitral valve repair with application of the ultra-fast-track protocol.
Methods: Data from 431 patients undergoing isolated trans-axillary mitral valve repair or associated with tricuspid valve treatment between January 2018 and December 2023 were prospectively collected.

Background: In patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation is an important risk factor for poor outcomes, such as heart failure. However, in many cases, transcatheter intervention may reduce the risk profile to avoid a high surgical risk.
Case Summary: A 44-year-old man with complex ACHD in the form of a double-inlet left ventricle, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, pulmonary atresia, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus was referred for the treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation.

Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a congenital heart disease. Most cases of DCRV are complicated by another congenital cardiac anomaly. Mostly, a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the usual comorbidity.

Absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APVS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by rudimentary PV tissue with variable degrees of PV stenosis and regurgitant pulmonary blood flow. In most cases, it is associated with tetralogy of Fallot. In a minority of APVS cases, with an unknown frequency, intact ventricular septum (IVS), patent ductus arteriosus, and possible tricuspid atresia are present.
