Objective Tricuspid regurgitation is often associated in patients with congenital heart disease. Significant morbidity and mortality are related to tricuspid valve replacement. Tricuspid valve plasty is still a preferred choice. This report deals with our surgical experience in using edge-to-edge valve plasty technique to correct severe tricuspid regurgitation in patients with congenital heart disease. Methods From April 2001 to Mar. 2010, severe tricuspid regurgitation was corrected with a flexible band anuloplasty and edge-to-edge valve plasty technique in 14 patients with congenital heart disease. The age ranged from 7 years to 62 years [average (31.2 ± 16.1 ) years]. Congenital cardiac anomalies include: atrioventricular canal in 5 cases, secundum atrial septal defect in 6 cases, secundum atrial septal defect with mitral valve regurgitation in 2 cases and cor triatriatum in 1 case. Results No hospital death or postoperative morbidity occurred. No or trivial tricuspid regurgitation was present in 11 cases and mild tricuspid regurgitation in 3 cases at discharge. The follow-up ranged from 3 month to 97 months [average (51.6 ± 26.8 ) months]. No tricuspid stenosis was found. No or trivial tricuspid regurgitation was present in 5 cases. Mild tricuspid regurgitation was present in 8 cases, and moderate tricuspid regurgitation in 1 case at the latest followup. Conclusion Edge-to-edge valve plasty is an easy, effective and important procedure to correct severe tricuspid regurgitation in patients with congenital heart disease.%目的 总结运用"缘对缘"成形技术治疗先天性心脏病病人的重度三尖瓣关闭不全的效果.方法 2001年4月至2010年3月,对14例先大性心脏病合并重度三尖瓣关闭不全病人采用常规三尖瓣瓣环成形和"缘对缘"技术行三尖瓣成形.年龄7～62岁,平均(31.2±16.1)岁.先大性心脏畸形包括继发孔房间隔缺损6例,房室管畸形5例,继发孔房间隔缺损合并二尖瓣关闭不全2例,三房心1例.结果 14例出院时均无不适,无住院死亡及术后并发症.术后超声心动图检查示三尖瓣关闭不全无或微量11例,轻度3例.随访3～97个月,平均(51.6±26.8)个月.随访时超声心动图检查示均无三尖瓣狭窄,三尖瓣关闭不全无或微量5例,轻度8例,中度1例.结论 "缘对缘"成形技术纠治先天性心脏病合并重度三尖瓣关闭不全简单、有效.
