Key result
Sliding leaflet plasty with De-Vega-like annuloplasty repairs the anteroseptal tricuspid commissure in an endocarditis patient.
Why the study?
The tricuspid valve can be affected in left-sided infective endocarditis, prompting the presentation of a new technique to repair the anteroseptal tricuspid valve commissure.
Case Report (n=1)
Describes a novel surgical technique using septal and posterior sliding plasty for tricuspid valve repair in the setting of infective endocarditis.
May support individualized tricuspid repair in endocarditis; hypothesis-generating case report requiring validation before broader adoption.
The tricuspid valve can be affected in left-sided infective endocarditis. We present a new technique to repair anteroseptal tricuspid valve commissure. It was employed in a patient with left-sided infective endocarditis with intervalvular fibrous body abscess. A sliding plasty of septal and posterior leaflets was performed, reaching the anteroseptal commissure with the aid of De-Vega like annuloplasty.

Sánchez et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Left-sided infective endocarditis with intervalvular fibrous body abscess (n=1). Sliding plasty of septal and posterior leaflets with De-Vega like annuloplasty was evaluated. A sliding plasty of septal and posterior leaflets with De-Vega like annuloplasty was employed to repair the anteroseptal tricuspid valve commissure in a patient with infective endocarditis.
