Outcomes Following Tricuspid Valve Repair with Ring Versus Suture Bicuspidization Annuloplasty

ConclusionsThe superiority of Ring over Suture-bicuspidization annuloplasty for tricuspid valve repair appeared to be evident in terms of event-free survival, and freedom from tricuspid valve insufficiency and reoperation. These findings raise concern in the context of emerging transcatheter technologies which mimic the bicuspidization technique.Graphical abstract
