Long-Term Outcomes of Suture vs. Ring Tricuspid Annuloplasty for Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation

摘要

Background: Whether there is a significant difference in the long-term surgical outcomes between suture annuloplasty and ring annuloplasty for the treatment of functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is still controversial. We compared the long-term outcomes of tricuspid annuloplasty (TAP) with and without an annuloplasty ring.
