AI Article Synopsis
- The K-Clip™ system offers a potential treatment for tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients considered high-risk for surgery.
- A case study of a 63-year-old woman who suffered from severe TR after undergoing Kay's annuloplasty demonstrated successful implantation of the K-Clip™.
- The results showed significant improvement in both the severity of TR and the size of the tricuspid annulus, suggesting that K-Clip™ may still be an option for patients with previous annuloplasty despite stricter patient criteria.
Article Abstract
The K-Clip™ system is emerging as an alternative to correct tricuspid regurgitation (TR) for patients with high surgical risk. However, patients with recurrent severe tricuspid regurgitation after prior Kay's annuloplasty are not generally deemed to be candidates for K-Clip™ implantation. Herein, we report a case of a 63-year-old woman with recurrent symptomatic torrential tricuspid regurgitation 5 years after double valve replacement with Kay's annuloplasty of the tricuspid valve. The K-Clip™ was successfully implanted, and the severity of tricuspid regurgitation and dimensions of tricuspid annulus achieved significant reduction. In conclusion, K-Clip™ can still be feasible and effective for patients with prior Kay's annuloplasty. However, indications become more rigorous, and evaluation should be more comprehensive.

Gradually, more attention has been paid to tricuspid regurgitation. Formerly the "forgotten valvular heart disease," it has been recognized as having high incidence and adverse prognosis if untreated. However, isolated tricuspid valve surgery carries substantial risk and is thus not recommended.

Objective: Emergency surgical treatment is required for idiopathic acute mitral regurgitation due to chordae rupture in infants. Nevertheless, mitral valve repair for such a patient population still remains challenging. We report our experience with mitral valve repair for idiopathic acute mitral regurgitation due to chordae rupture in infants.

Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is primarily caused by enlargement of the tricuspid annulus due to right ventricular dilation, frequently secondary to left sided valvular disease. Early techniques for the treatment of functional TR were introduced by Jerome Kay in 1965 and Norberto DeVega in 1972. Modified suture annuloplasty is a modification of DeVega's semicircular purse string technique, however, it is based on Kay's principle of obliteration of the posterior segment of the annulus only.

A 77-year-old woman who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR) with a 29 mm Hancock standard (H-S) bioprosthesis (Model 242) and tricuspid annuloplasty (Kay's method) at the age of 44 years was admitted urgently with acute heart failure. Echocardiography showed severe transvalvular leakage of the prosthesis and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. The patient underwent reMVR with a 29 mm Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Magna Mitral bioprosthesis and tricuspid annuloplasty with a 30 mm MC3 ring.
