  • Title: Right ventricular papillary muscle approximation for functional tricuspid regurgitation associated with severe leaflet tethering.
    Author: Matsumiya G, Kohno H, Matsuura K, Sakata T, Tamura Y, Watanabe M, Ueda H.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2018 Apr 01; 26(4):700-702. PubMed ID: 29253202.
    Abstract:
    Recurrent tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can occur after tricuspid annuloplasty if severe leaflet tethering persists. To reduce the tethering, we applied right ventricular papillary muscle approximation in 7 patients with severe functional TR associated with significant leaflet tethering. Postoperative echocardiogram revealed mild or less TR and a significant reduction in the tethering effect. In conclusion, this adjunctive technique can improve functional TR associated with leaflet tethering.
