Avast unmet need exists for tricuspid valve (TV) repair for functional tricuspid regurgitation
(FTR) among patients undergoing left heart valve surgery. The FTR is a dynamic entity that …

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to investigate the incidence and identify the predictors of
significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) development long after left-sided valve surgery …

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to analyze the short-and long-term results of patients with
previous tricuspid valve repair who had valve dysfunction and required cardiac …

Objectives: We have reviewed 260 patients who underwent initial tricuspid valve surgery for
functional tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) and analyzed independent predictors for early …

OBJECTIVE--To determine how severe tricuspid regurgitation influences exercise capacity
and functional state in patients who have undergone successful mitral valve replacement for …

OBJECTIVE--To study the time course and underlying mechanisms of right heart filling after
cardiac surgery. DESIGN--A prospective observational study of adult patients undergoing …

The etiology of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in North American patients with mitral valve
disease is almost entirely nonrheumatic functional dilatation of the tricuspid annulus. In mild …

Objectives: Because pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) can result in an immediate
reduction in pulmonary artery (PA) pressure, we sought to evaluate the effect of PTE on …

Background—Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been reported to be a predisposing factor for the
progression of TR in patients with previous mitral or combined mitral/aortic valve surgery …

Noninvasive imaging currently plays an important role in the diagnosis and evaluation of
patients with valvular heart disease. Doppler echocardiography provides the clinician with a …
