[Deformation of the tricuspid annulus by pericardial adhesions: a rare cause of early tricuspid regurgitation after mitral valve replacement].
The authors report the case of major tricuspid regurgitation occurring early after mitral valve replacement. The mechanism was demonstrated at reoperation: the heart was deformed by a posterior pericardial effusion and cardiodiaphragmatic pericardial adhesions.
