Abstract

Fourty-five cases of operation were performed for the correction of tricuspid regurgitation [TR] in Pusan National University Hospital between 1982 and 1991.The mean age of the patients was 32.6 years and female was dominant[M:F=1:2.2].Isolated tricuspid regurgitation was rare and 43 patients underwent concomitant other valvular operation including mitral valve replacement. Functional cause was in 39 cases and organic lesions were found in 6 cases. Operative methods were Kay annuloplasty[29], De Vega annuloplasty[12], and tricuspid valve replacement[4]. Ring annuloplasty was not performed. Operative mortality rate was 11.1%[5/45] and late mortality rate was 6.7%[2/30]. The tricuspid valve surgery itself was not a serious risk factor for hospital death and no heart block nor thrombosis was complicated. By echocardiogram early[within 30 days] and late [mean:4.9years] changes of postoperative TR were evaluated. De Vega annuloplasty seemed to bring better late result than Kay annuloplasty[p<0.05]. In four patients with late severe TR,previously replaced tissue valve degeneration[2], pulmonary hypertension[1] and rheumatic TR[1] were the possible causes. This experience suggests that De Vega annuloplasty can be a reliable method in the majority of patients with moderate-to-severe functional TR.
