  • Title: [A prosthetic ring annuloplasty with edge-to-edge repair for a treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation].
    Author: Midorikawa H, Satou K, Ishikawa K, Kanno M.

    Abstract:
    A 59-year-old woman admitted to our hospital with shortness of breath and edema of the lower extremities was diagnosed with right ventricular failure stemming from severe tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). She had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR) with a mechanical valve at the age of 42. The approach to the heart was established via a right thoracotomy at the 4th intercostals space. A beating heart cardiopulmonary bypass procedure was performed in which tricuspid valve repair was performed with the edge-to-edge repair and MC3 annuloplasty system. The operative course was uneventful. This technique may be feasible and clinically effective in the treatment of severe TR.
