Early and midterm outcomes for tricuspid valve surgery after left-sided valve surgery.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the early and midterm results of tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) versus tricuspid valve repair (TVr) for late tricuspid regurgitation after left-sided valve surgery. METHODS: Fifty-one ... Read more...

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...

Persistent tricuspid regurgitation and its predictor in adults after percutaneous and isolated surgical closure of secundum atrial septal defect.

13 Sep 2009 The fate of functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after closure of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) without any corrective tricuspid valve (TV) surgery remains unclear. We investigated this and the predictors of persistent TR after ASD ... Read more...
