ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In this study we discuss the conditions of four patients with severe tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation, in which a differentiated intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) analysis - as performed in TV-clipping procedures - provided major guidance for refined TV repair.METHODS:
Between January 2019 and March 2020, four patients with central tricuspid regurgitation and an intercommisural jet underwent annuloplasty with an echo-guided plication stitch on the affected leaflet basis, especially anteroseptal.RESULTS:
All patients underwent complex multiple valve (aortic- and/or mitral valve) surgery with concomitant TV-repair. No or mild TV regurgitation after TV repair was confirmed in the predischarge echocardiography in all patients.CONCLUSIONS:
We conclude, that differentiated intraoperative TEE is essential for the surgical TV repair strategy. Plication of the anteroseptal commissure additionally performed to TV annuloplasty, is an easy and effective add-on in selected patients.
