[Surgical correction of chronic tricuspid insufficiency following infarction of the right ventricle].
The case of a 69 year old man with isolated tricuspid regurgitation secondary to right ventricular infarction is reported. The poor long-term tolerance of the regurgitation resulting in severe right ventricular failure in the absence of any left ventricular dysfunction led to tricuspid valve replacement with a bioprosthesis 13 years after the causal infarct.
