Postoperative Outcome of Isolated Tricuspid Valve Operation Using Arrested-Heart or Beating-Heart Technique

Although both cohorts were very heterogeneous and difficult to compare, our results show that both surgical strategies for TV repair have good results regarding postoperative survival, neurologic complications, and postoperative indications for a pacemaker. TV repair with the beating-heart technique has excellent results and can be safely accomplished in a minimally invasive manner.
