Key result
Posterior annuloplasty for moderate tricuspid regurgitation provided virtually 100% relief of TR in 71 patients, supporting valve reconstruction over replacement.

Does tricuspid valve repair (annuloplasty) improve tricuspid regurgitation in patients with mitral valve disease?
Tricuspid valve repair using posterior annuloplasty for moderate TR and an annuloplasty ring for severe TR provides excellent relief of regurgitation in patients with mitral valve disease, supporting reconstruction over replacement.
Lawrence H. Cohn (1994) conducted an observational in Tricuspid regurgitation secondary to mitral valve disease (n=87). Tricuspid valve repair (posterior annuloplasty or Carpentier-Edwards ring) was evaluated on Relief of tricuspid regurgitation. Posterior annuloplasty for moderate tricuspid regurgitation provided virtually 100% relief of TR in 71 patients, supporting valve reconstruction over replacement.
