Key result
Surgical repair proves feasible for rare parachute tricuspid valve despite challenging preoperative detection.
Why the study?
Parachute deformity of atrioventricular valves is more easily detected preoperatively with mitral involvement than with tricuspid valve, indicating a need to describe tricuspid valve cases.

Two cases of parachute tricuspid valve

Case report
Parachute deformity of atrioventricular valve occurs when chordae tendineae arise either from one papillary muscle or a closely placed muscle group. Preoperative detection is easier with mitral involvement than with tricuspid valve. We present two cases of parachute tricuspid valve (PTV) which were successfully repaired.
