Abstract

The double-orifice tricuspid valve (DOTV) is a rare lesion. We present a series of three patients encountered at the Stollery Children's Hospital with a diagnosis of DOTV on 2D and/or 3D echocardiography. The patient's medical records are reviewed for presentation history, investigative findings, and clinical course. We discuss the cases in the context of a complete review of all literature documenting cases of DOTV. In the majority of cases, the lesion is relatively benign, with little change in valve function over the short to medium term, and outcomes are determined largely by significant concomitant heart defects.
