Abstract

Abstract Background Right valve diseases are not benign, the tricuspid regurgitation has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality of patients. Objective This study aimed to report the short-term results of tricuspid annuloplasty using the De Vega technique modified by Manuel Antunes. Methods A descriptive-analytical study was performed to evaluate the results of the tricuspid valvuloplasty performed at the Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira between 2012 and 2017. Data were collected by reviewing charts and databases of the [...]

Highlights

In Brazil, a significant proportion of hospitalizations for cardiovascular diseases is due to heart valve diseases.[1]
A total of 87 patients were submitted to tricuspid valve annuloplasty evaluation, 49 (56.3%) were women
Heart valve diseases most associated with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) included mitral regurgitation (27.6%) and aortic regurgitation (20.7%)

Summary

Introduction

In Brazil, a significant proportion of hospitalizations for cardiovascular diseases is due to heart valve diseases.[1]. There is a frequent association of both tricuspid stenosis and TR with mitral valve disease.[1,2]. Right valve diseases are not benign, the tricuspid regurgitation has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality of patients. Objectives: This study aimed to report the short-term results of tricuspid annuloplasty using the De Vega technique modified by Manuel Antunes. Data were collected by reviewing charts and databases of the Department of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery of the institution Those with rheumatic diseases or infective endocarditis with tricuspid valve involvement, or reoperation of the tricuspid valve were excluded. Conclusions: In the current study, tricuspid valve annuloplasty using the modified De Vega technique was shown to be effective in the short term. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term results.
