Abstract (79/150)
Isolated tricuspid valve regurgitation can be caused by either primary
valvular abnormalities or secondary to annular dilation. Congenital
tricuspid valve regurgitation in the adult is rare and encompasses a
heterogenous group of anatomical variants
that is often associated with or
is a sequela of other congenital heart diseases that poses a unique
challenge to the surgical management of these patients. We present a
case of primary isolated congenital tricuspid valve regurgitation and
successful tricuspid valve repair in an adult.
Keywords: congenital heart disease, tricuspid valve disease, tricuspid
