Abstract
Rheumatic involvement of the tricuspid valve frequently occurs in patients with mitral and aortic valve disease. Inadequate attention to tricuspid valve function can lead to increased morbidity and may necessitate reoperation. A surgical algorithm is developed and presented for treatment of rheumatic heart disease. Seventy-four patients underwent tricuspid valve repair. Competent tricuspid valve (not more than mild tricuspid regurgitation) could be achieved in all of these patients.
