Highlights
Aims/Objectives It is unclear if flexible bands offer the same long-term results like rigid or semi-rigid rings
We aimed to evaluate possible outcome differences between the flexible SJM Tailor Band (FB group) and the CarpentierEdwards rigid MC3-Ring (RR group)
We retrospectively evaluated 141 patients undergoing tricuspid valve reconstruction (TVR) with the MC3-ring or the Tailor Band or suture annuloplasty between 01/11 and 12/13
