Long-term results of annuloplasty in trivial-to-mild functional tricuspid regurgitation during mitral valve replacement: Should we perform annuloplasty on the tricuspid valve or leave it alone?
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Nov 24, 2017
Choi JW, et al. - Researchers here determined the long-term outcomesÂparticularly the long-term tricuspid valve (TV) functional outcomesÂof mitral valve replacement (MVR) with or without tricuspid ring annuloplasty. Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) could develop in patients with untreated trivial or mild functional TR accompanied by mitral valve disease during follow-up. In patients with trivial or mild functional TR who are undergoing MVR, TV ring annuloplasty can be performed without complications and can be beneficial.
