  • Title: Tricuspid valve endocarditis: repair with the use of artificial chordae.
    Author: Bortolotti U, Tursi V, Fasoli G, Milano A, Frigato N, Casarotto D.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 1993 Sep; 2(5):567-70. PubMed ID: 8269169.
    Abstract:
    We report on a patient who developed tricuspid valve endocarditis on a permanent endocardial pacemaker lead. At operation the endocardial lead was removed and accurate debridement of the tricuspid tissue was performed. Tricuspid valve reconstruction included commissural plication and the construction of artificial polytetrafluoroethylene chordae from the anterior leaflet to the anterior papillary muscle to obtain valve competence.
