Questions about Tricuspid Regurgitation
Is autologous pericardial annuloplasty effective at reducing Tricuspid Regurgitation recurrence?
Autologous pericardial annuloplasty is associated with a significantly lower rate of moderate tricuspid regurgitation recurrence at 48 and 96 months compared to prosthetic ring annuloplasty in patients with rheumatic heart disease.
