  • Title: Plicated patch repair for acquired Gerbode defect involving the tricuspid valve.
    Author: Matt P, Winkler B, Carrel T, Eckstein F.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2010 Feb; 89(2):643-5. PubMed ID: 20103373.
    Abstract:
    Gerbode's defect, a left ventricular-to-right atrial communication, with involvement of the tricuspid valve acquired after bacterial endocarditis can be challenging to repair. We report a modified technique for a shunt closure and reconstruction of the tricuspid valve using a plicated bovine pericardial patch. Combining such a repair with a left ventricular patch resulted in a complete defect closure and competent tricuspid valve without regurgitation.
