Abstract
The evaluation of both tricuspid annular diameter and tethering distance may help clinicians to stratify patients with secondary TR into different risk levels as a means of choosing an optimal TVP approach. The application of a modified De Vega procedure or an undersized annuloplasty ring in patients within appropriate risk level could improve the treatment for secondary TR.
