Abstract
A patient was submitted to mitral valve replacement and tricuspid ring annuloplasty. During immediate postoperative course, signs of inferior myocardial ischemia appeared. Acute entrapment of the right coronary artery due to tricuspid ring sutures was confirmed by coronary angiography. The patient was reoperated and a right coronary bypass graft was successfully performed. Tricuspid procedures have shown to be effective and secure with a low rate of complication. Few cases of right coronary artery occlusion have been described and the majority not treated. Exceptional cases of right coronary occlusion related to tricuspid ring annuloplasty have been reported with a favorable outcome, as the case described herein.
