Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography incremental value in a case with a rare combination of tricuspid valve prolapse and rheumatic mitral valve stenosis

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2015
Introduction: The tricuspid valve (TV) is a complex structure (Lamers et al. (1995) [1]). The most common cause of pathologic tricuspid regurgitation is functional, due to annular dilatation with normal leaflet morphology (Sagie et al.

Degenerative Mitral Stenosis—Diagnostic Challenges and Future Directions

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Determining the severity of stenosis in degenerative mitral stenosis (DMS) is fraught with challenges. Neither a high trans-mitral gradient nor a small valve area calculation is sufficiently diagnostic for DMS due to variable left atrial and left ...

Bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis in a case of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and tricuspid valve replacement

Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2022
Very little is known about the occurrence of bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis in the Indian population that usually occurs within 8–10 years following tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) with a bioprosthetic valve.
