Why the study?
Does the type of prosthetic ring used in tricuspid annuloplasty affect annulus motion and shape?
Does the type of prosthetic ring used in tricuspid annuloplasty affect annulus motion and shape?
Different prosthetic rings for tricuspid annuloplasty result in varying annulus motion and shape, despite similar efficacy in controlling regurgitation, which may guide appropriate ring selection.
Annular dynamics vary by ring type despite equivalent TR control; hypothesis-generating for ring selection in tricuspid annuloplasty.
Annulus motion and shape differ according to the type of prosthetic ring used, although tricuspid regurgitation was well controlled by all types of ring utilized. The present results provide important information for selection of an appropriate prosthetic ring for TAP.
