ABSTRACT
From 1983 to 1999, 12 St. Jude Medical prostheses were implanted in the tricuspid position. Mean patient age at the time of operation was 40±19 (6 to 62) years. Seven patients were female and five were male. There were no hospital deaths but three late deaths. The cumulative survival rate was 100% at 5 years, 80% at 10 years and 60% at 15 years. Four patients required redo tricuspid valve replacement because of a thrombosed valve. The reoperation-free rate was 100% at 5 years, 78% at 10 years and 29% at 15 years. The data illustrated that patients who underwent tricuspid valve replacement with the St. Jude Medical valve should receive strict anticoagulation therapy.
