Abstract
We report a case of isolated idiopathic congenital tricuspid valve calcification that necessitated urgent neonatal surgical intervention. Hemodynamic analysis revealed circular shunt caused by severe tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary regurgitation, and a hypoplastic right ventricle. The patient successfully underwent tricuspid valve repair at postnatal day 10. Although intervention for neonatal tricuspid valve is challenging, hemodynamic evaluation and early surgical intervention are necessary in patients with this rare cardiac calcification.
