Abstract:
We developed an alternative technique to integrate the replacement of tricuspid septal leaflet and chordae using a fan-shaped fresh autologous pericardial patch. Echocardiographic evaluation showed normal mobility, and no progression of tricuspid regurgitation or evidence of calcification early and late after operation. This alternative approach appears to be an easy, rapid, and effective technique for tricuspid valve repair.
