  • Title: Repairing the tricuspid valve in congenital heart diseases other than Ebstein's.
    Author: Dodge-Khatami A, Mavroudis CD, Frost J, Jacobs JP, Mavroudis C.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2014 Dec; 24(6):1077-87. PubMed ID: 25647382.
    Abstract:
    The tricuspid valve is being increasingly recognised as an important safeguard to the heart with congenital heart disease. Both structural anomalies of the valve and functional burdens from other malformations of the right heart can lead to major haemodynamic consequences both upstream and downstream. The indications to surgically intervene on the tricuspid valve are evolving and vary depending on the malformation. The extant surgical techniques and their applications to corresponding frequent congenital anomalies of the tricuspid valve are reviewed.
