Summary

This study details a rare congenital heart defect: isolated tricuspid regurgitation due to a cleft anterior tricuspid leaflet. Successful surgical repair involved valve repair and patent foramen ovale closure.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • Congenital tricuspid regurgitation is a rare condition.
  • Isolated tricuspid valve abnormalities can present with significant hemodynamic compromise.
  • Associated cardiac defects, such as patent foramen ovale, can coexist.

Observation:

  • A case of isolated congenital tricuspid regurgitation was identified.
  • The regurgitation stemmed from a cleft in the anterior tricuspid leaflet, leading to leaflet prolapse.
  • Preoperative echocardiography confirmed severe tricuspid regurgitation.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful surgical intervention.
  • Tricuspid valve repair was achieved through cleft suture and annuloplasty.

  • The coexisting patent foramen ovale was directly closed.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the successful surgical management of a rare congenital tricuspid valve defect.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in congenital tricuspid regurgitation.
    • Surgical repair offers a viable treatment option for isolated congenital tricuspid regurgitation with associated defects.
