Clinical and echocardiographic impact of functional tricuspid regurgitation repair at the time of mitral valve replacement.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The indications for tricuspid valve repair in the setting of mitral valve disease and concomitant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remain unclear. We examined patients undergoing mitral valve replacement (MVR) to determine the effect of TR ... Read more...

Acrocomia aculeata as an unreported cause of tricuspid regurgitation.

30 Aug 2009 Penetrating chest trauma can produce a wide range of lesions to cardiac structures. Some patients develop signs and symptoms of residual sequelae. We describe the case of an 11-year-old boy with severe tricuspid regurgitation caused by the thorn of ... Read more...

[Management of the tricuspid valve regurgitation]

29 Jun 2009 The tricuspid valve is the right-sided atrioventricular valve, and it is composed of three leaflets (i.e., anterior, posterior, and septal) attached to a fibrous annulus. The cause of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is more often functional rather than ... Read more...
