TR is one of the most commonly encountered valvular problems in clinical practice. More than 80% of TR encountered in clinical practice is secondary or functional in nature. FTR usually results from left-sided heart disease, most often MV stenosis or regurgitation (16). The common mechanism of FTR is annular dilatation and leaflet tethering. The principles of surgery for FTR include elimination of increased right ventricular afterload (e.g., by correction of left-sided valve disease) and correction of tricuspid annular dilatation. Currently, the best method of correcting FTR in terms of timing and surgical techniques is still debated. Recently, valve annuloplasty is the preferred surgical treatment for FTR (17-19). However, to date there is no clear evidence of the superiority of one annuloplasty device over the other (14,19). To our knowledge, this is the first report explored and...
