This study presents a modified DeVega

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Valve Repair
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) often accompanies mitral valve disease.
  • Functional TR necessitates effective surgical management.
  • Existing tricuspid annuloplasty techniques may have limitations.

Purpose:

  • To describe a modified DeVega's tricuspid annuloplasty (TAP) technique.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this modified TAP for functional TR.
  • To assess clinical outcomes and hemodynamic changes post-procedure.

Summary:

  • A modified DeVega's TAP using a double suture line with Teflon pledgets was performed on 28 patients with functional TR.
  • The annuloplasty narrowed the tricuspid annulus to a diameter of 28 or 30 mm.

  • Tricuspid function was assessed by saline injection into the right ventricle.

    • Impact:

    • The modified TAP demonstrated a safe and effective surgical option for functional TR.
    • Survivors experienced significant reductions in right atrial pressure and improved clinical status.
    • This technique is readily teachable, offering a valuable approach for managing TR.
