A new technique of circular tricuspid annuloplasty in the treatment of tricuspid insufficiency is described. One hundred and fifty patients have been operated on by this technique between April 1973 and March 1975. The operative findings and the results of the operation from 6 to 30 months after operation are described. The addition of tricuspid circular annuloplasty to mitral and aortic valve replacements where indicated has resulted in a gratifying fall in operative mortality and better long term functional result.

Iatrogenic Aortic Regurgitation After Tricuspid Annuloplasty Treated by Transcatheter Valve Repair.

We report a case of a woman who underwent mitral ring and tricuspid annuloplasty. Two months later, she presented with acute heart failure secondary to severe aortic regurgitation, which was a complication of the cardiac surgery. Given the high surgical risk of reoperation in this the patient, she underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation, with a good result.

Background: Tricuspid anteroposterior patch (TRAPP) repair aims to address shortcomings of traditional annuloplasty in functional tricuspid regurgitation by selectively enlarging and translocating the anterior and posterior leaflets, but optimal patch width has not been identified.
Methods: An ex vivo model of the tricuspid valve was established in fresh porcine hearts by pneumatic pressurization of the ventricles. TRAPP repair was performed with patches of varying width (group 1, 1.

Purpose Of Review: We describe the evolution of caval valve implantation (CAVI) as a treatment for severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the high surgical risk patient.
Recent Findings: Surgical treatment of severe TR is often limited by the high surgical risk of the patients who tend to develop severe secondary TR. Coaptation, annuloplasty, and orthotopic replacement strategies are all limited by annular and leaflet geometry, prior valve repair, and the presence of cardiac implantable device leads.

Background: Traumatic tricuspid valve regurgitation is a rare condition related to blunt chest trauma. In the early phase, the patients may remain asymptomatic. Progressive tricuspid regurgitation leads to the development of symptoms thereafter.
