Key result
Tricuspid valve regurgitation due to an isolated congenital cleft in the anterior leaflet was successfully repaired using a minimally invasive robotic approach in a young adult female.
Why the study?
Congenital isolated tricuspid valve cleft in the anterior leaflet is a rare occurrence.
Case Report (n=1)
This case demonstrates the feasibility of using a minimally invasive robotic approach to repair a rare congenital isolated cleft of the anterior tricuspid valve leaflet.
Robotic repair may be feasible for rare isolated congenital TV cleft; leaves open need for larger series on durability.
Congenital isolated tricuspid valve (TV) cleft in the anterior leaflet is a rare occurrence, while clefts of the mitral valve leaflets are more common and are usually associated with other congenital heart diseases. In this article, we report a case of TV regurgitation in a young adult female due to an isolated congenital cleft in the anterior TV leaflet, which was surgically repaired using a minimally invasive robotic approach.

Hamandi et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Tricuspid valve regurgitation (n=1). Minimally invasive robotic surgical repair was evaluated. Tricuspid valve regurgitation due to an isolated congenital cleft in the anterior leaflet was successfully repaired using a minimally invasive robotic approach in a young adult female.
