    Abstract:
    61 patient underwent operative repair of acquired tricuspid insufficiency (T.I.) during correction of multiple valvular disease. 45% presented a relative T.I. through annular dilatation, while organic lesions of the tricuspid valve were found in 56% of the patients. A tricuspid valvular replacement was carried out in 17, and a tricuspid annuloplasty in 44 patients. We believe that during surgical management of multiple valvular lesions, all tricuspid insufficiencies of even when only of a slight to moderate degree - should be corrected aggressively. Tricuspid valvular replacement should be avoided if possible and a tricuspid annuloplasty should be performed.
