Abstract
We refer to the tricuspid as the “forgotten valve,” and when the results of repair are reviewed, one can understand why surgeons want to forget it1 because of frequent recurrent tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Recurrent moderate or more functional TR is frequently in a range similar to the results with mitral repair with functional mitral regurgitation.2 Most treated TR is functional related to left-sided valve disease and is treated with a suture, band, or ring annuloplasty. Patch enlargement of the anterior tricuspid valve leaflet has been described but is time consuming and not easily reproducible.
