Discussion

Implication

High mortality after isolated tricuspid valve replacement warrants cautious patient selection; observational data leaves open optimal timing and alternatives.

Structured PICO

What are the short and long-term outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve replacement?

Population

15 consecutive patients (six men and nine women, aged 61+/-3 years) undergoing isolated tricuspid valve replacement from 1984 to 1996. Causes of valve dysfunction included rheumatic heart disease (n=12), healed endocarditis (n=2), and sarcoidosis (n=1).

Intervention

Isolated tricuspid valve replacement (prostheses used: St. Jude Medical n=8, Carpentier-Edwards n=5, Björk-Shiley n=1, Starr-Edwards n=1)

Outcome

Short and long-term survival/mortalityhard clinical

Isolated tricuspid valve replacement is associated with poor short- and long-term survival, with a median survival of only 1.2 years.
