Midterm results of tricuspid annuloplasty with a homemade PTFE flexible ring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background/Introduction Tricuspid regurgitation is a serious valvulopathy with a significant impact on long term survival. Several techniques have been described to address it, including suture techniques and ring techniques. All have the same purposes of favoring leaflet cooptation, reducing the size of the tricuspid annulus and stabilize the reparation to preclude further re expansion and dilatation of the annulus.

Flexible band versus rigid ring annuloplasty for functional tricuspid regurgitation
We review and compare our experience with tricuspid ring annuloplasty between usage of the Cosgrove-Edwards flexible band and the MC(3) rigid ring for repair of functional tricuspid regurgitation to determine the efficacy and mid-term durability of tricuspid annuloplasty. 117 patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation undergoing open heart surgery and tricuspid valve repair from May 2005 ...
متن کاملPericardial Strip versus Ring Annuloplasty for Repair of Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation
Background: Functional tricuspid regurgitation is a challenge regarding indications for repair and proper surgical technique. Aim of the study: We reviewed our midterm results of tricuspid valve repair for functional regurgitation comparing pericardial strip versus ring annuloplasties. Patients and methods: From January 2008 to December 2013, we operated 59 patients (male:female, 41:18, with a ...

Background—We examined predictors of early and very long-term outcome after combined mitral and tricuspid valve repair for rheumatic disease. Methods and Results—Between 1974 and 2002, 153 consecutive patients (mean age, 46.0 13.2 years) underwent combined mitral and tricuspid valve repair for rheumatic disease. Mitral disease was predominantly stenosis (82.3%); 100% of patients had organic tri...
متن کاملeComment. Adjustable tricuspid annuloplasty for functional tricuspid regurgitation.
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is a neglected and underestimated pathology. It occurs mostly from annular dilatation and right ventricular enlargement, which is frequent secondary to left-sided heart failure from myocardial or valvular causes, right ventricular volume and pressure overload, and dilatation of the cardiac chambers. Moderate-to-severe FTR should be corrected to improve s...
متن کاملHomemade expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene flexible mitral annuloplasty ring.
A homemade mitral annular prosthesis has been developed using expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene material. It is safe in that it avoids the risk of prosthesis wrinkle when stitches are tied. Simultaneously, it is strong enough to prevent future stretching and rupture. This device has been implanted in 60 patients with good and stable results at 42 months of follow-up. Our flexible mitral annular ...
