Abstract
A 29-year-old male with tricuspid endocarditis related to a residual ventricular septal defect was studied. A large vegetation was resected along with partial excision of the valve. The tricuspid valve was reconstructed using a single-stitch triple-orifice technique. No regurgitation or stenosis was detected at the valve 6 months after surgery.
