Why the study?

Does surgical management (triple valve replacement or combined replacement with annuloplasty) improve survival and functional capacity in patients with triple valve disease?

Population

34 consecutive patients with triple valve disease, 94% in NYHA functional class III or IV before surgery.

Design

Case_series

Follow-up

average 4.4 years

Implication

High early mortality warrants cautious patient selection for triple valve surgery; hypothesis-generating from Level 5 data and requires controlled trials.

Does surgical management (triple valve replacement or combined replacement with annuloplasty) improve survival and functional capacity in patients with triple valve disease?

Population

34 consecutive patients with triple valve disease, 94% in NYHA functional class III or IV before surgery.

Intervention

Surgical management: either triple valve replacement (n=19) or combined aortic and mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty (n=15) using Björk-Shiley tilting disc valve prosthesis.

Outcome

Early mortality, late mortality, and 5-year survival ratehard clinical

Surgical management of triple valve disease provides significant functional improvement and a 75% 5-year survival rate, though associated with approximately 20% early mortality.
