Abstract
Objectives: Incision of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve is a technique to obtain complete visualization in cases where a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is obscured by the tricuspid valve. However, tricuspid valve incision bears the potential risk of causing relevant postoperative tricuspid valve regurgitation and higher degree AV block. We therefore evaluated patients who underwent VSD closure at our institution.
