An effective adjunct to tricuspid annuloplasty.

S Nakano, Y Kawashima, H Hirose

    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

    Summary

    A novel surgical technique using interrupted sutures aids annuloplasty when annulus dilatation is insufficient for tricuspid valve conversion. This method facilitates effective tricuspid valve repair in complex cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardiac Valve Repair
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Annuloplasty is a common procedure for tricuspid valve regurgitation.
    • Standard annuloplasty may be insufficient in cases requiring significant annular remodeling.
    • Tricuspid valve repair aims to restore normal valve function and reduce regurgitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple and effective adjunct to annuloplasty.
    • To address cases where annular dilatation alone is insufficient for tricuspid valve conversion to a bicuspid valve.
    • To describe a technique for complex tricuspid valve repair.

    Main Methods:

    • Placement of several interrupted sutures on the tricuspid valve leaflets.
    • Sutures are placed adjacent to the commissural zone between anterior and posterior leaflets.
    • The technique is performed prior to exclusion of the posterior leaflet.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique serves as an effective adjunct to standard annuloplasty.
    • It facilitates tricuspid valve conversion when simple dilatation is not enough.
    • This method offers a viable option for complex tricuspid valve repair.

    Conclusions:

    • This suture technique provides a simple and effective adjunct for annuloplasty.
    • It is particularly useful in patients requiring more than simple annular dilatation for tricuspid valve repair.
    • The method aids in achieving a functional bicuspid valve state.
