Tricuspid Valve Repair Existing literature on national surgical outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve repair or replacement is based on data from over a decade ago and may not reflect current practice results. Analysis of 13,587 patients undergoing isolated tricuspid valve surgery from 2017 to 2023 revealed a 5.5%

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. Apical four chamber view shows all four cardiac chambers, mitral and tricuspid valves, and the septa. A right parasternal view may be used when the heart is enlarged, to assess the tricuspid regurgitation jet.

Characteristics and prognosis of isolated aortic valve infective endocarditis in patients with bicuspid aortic valves: a propensity matched study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease with an increased risk of infective endocarditis (IE). The aim of this study was to compare patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) IE and BAV-IE in terms of characteristics, management and prognosis. IQR: 19–120] months.
