Abstract
Congenital isolated tricuspid valve (TV) cleft in the anterior leaflet is a rare occurrence, while clefts of the mitral valve leaflets are more common and are usually associated with other congenital heart diseases. In this article, we report a case of TV regurgitation in a young adult female due to an isolated congenital cleft in the anterior TV leaflet, which was surgically repaired using a minimally invasive robotic approach.
Highlights
Severe tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation due to a cleft in the anterior leaflet is a rare congenital anomaly.[1]
The pathogenesis is still unknown, an abnormality in the development of the endocardial cushion is suspected.[2]. This lesion can often be seen with atrial septal defects, perimembranous ventricular septal defects, or pulmonary valve stenosis.[1,3]
The patient was evaluated by the heart team and deemed an appropriate candidate for robotically assisted TV surgery
