- Abstract
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is the most common of all tricuspid dysfunctions. Ring annuloplasty is an effective treatment strategy for FTR. Currently, the most commonly used suture method for tricuspid ring annuloplasty is the interrupted U-shaped suture method. However, when tricuspid annuli are grossly dilated (septal segments > 60 mm), interrupted sutures are insufficient in avoiding the folding over of the annulus or the tearing of sutures. Therefore, we recommend a new band suture technique; namely, the three-suture junctional continuous suture band annuloplasty technique.
