Abstract:
We describe a case of rheumatic tricuspid stenosis without involvement of the mitral valve. Rheumatic disease of the tricuspid valve is very rare in the absence of concomitant mitral valvar disease. We suggest that the closing pressure at the valve is not the only factor governing localization of the rheumatic process.
