Why the study?
Does Kay's bicuspidalization compared to De Vega's annular plication improve clinical and haemodynamic outcomes in patients undergoing surgical treatment for tricuspid incompetence?
Does Kay's bicuspidalization compared to De Vega's annular plication improve clinical and haemodynamic outcomes in patients undergoing surgical treatment for tricuspid incompetence?
Kay's bicuspidalization and De Vega's annular plication provide similar early and late mortality and good long-term clinical results for the surgical treatment of tricuspid incompetence.
