The Double-Orifice Valve Technique to Treat Tricuspid Valve Incompetence.

CONCLUSIONS: This double-orifice technique is technically a straightforward repair to abolish TV incompetence with highly satisfactory results, particularly in patients with severe annular dilatation or with leaflet and chordal tethering. In the present series, the technique provided no pitfalls (if the location of the conduction system was borne in mind), requiring only a gentle placement of sutures. It also led to no residual regurgitation or reoperation during the follow up period. PMID: 27989087 [PubMed - in process]
