Tricuspid valve disease
March 7, 2016
Outcomes of tricuspid valve replacement at a single institution over a 4 decade period were reviewed. A bioprosthesis was used in 82%, and the surgical mortality was nearly 28%. Freedom from structural deterioration was better in the mechanical valve group. Mechanical valves were, however, associated with earlier and more severe morbidity, includi

The authors sought to risk stratify pts with secondary TR and then analyze outcomes of different treatment options for TR in conjunction with repair of left-sided valve disease. Low risk patients did well without TR intervention, intermediate risk patients did well with De Vega annuloplasty, and high risk patients fitted with an undersized annulopla
