Abstract:
A 30-year-old man with a history of a murmur since childhood had progressive ascites for 2 years. The patient was found to have severe stenoses of the pulmonic and tricuspid valves with a well-developed right ventricle. Impressive clinical improvement occurred after pulmonic valvotomy, infundibulectomy, and replacement of the stenotic tricuspid valve with a porcine xenograft. The clinical, echocardiographic, hemodynamic, surgical, and pathological features are presented.
