Successful staged tricuspid valve replacement following cardiac resynchronization therapy in a congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries

Clin Case Rep. 2019 Jun 24;7(8):1484-1488. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2272. eCollection 2019 Aug.

Abstract

Simple tricuspid valve surgery for complex heart disease with systemic right ventricular dysfunction is a high-risk procedure; however, staged tricuspid valve surgery following cardiac resynchronization therapy seems to be a beneficial method to expect reverse systemic ventricular remodeling.

Keywords: cardiac resynchronization therapy; congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries; systemic ventricular dysfunction; tricuspid valve replacement.
