This review examines the component parts to provide the background for a better understanding of the mitral valve as seen in cross sectional anatomy and highlights pertinent features of its anomalies.

This congenital malformation is characterised by any degree of inferior displacement of the proximal attachments of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve ... The rules of cardiac ...

In Ebstein anomaly, the "something different" is the position of the tricuspid valve and the way its parts move. In Ebstein anomaly, the valve is sunken into the right ventricle, and one or two of its ...

Tricuspid valve stenosis is relatively rare and occurs when the leaflets of the tricuspid valve become abnormally stiffened or immobile resulting in impaired right ventricular filling from a ...

Tricuspid regurgitation can be organic from actual valve or leaflet damage, or functional from tricuspid annular dilation. Even in the setting of severe tricuspid regurgitation, right heart ...

Valve regurgitation remains the principal pathology of the TV and it is more often secondary rather than caused by a primary valve lesion. Annular dilatation and increased tricuspid leaflet tethering ...

The TriClip procedure is a minimally invasive approach to repair a leaky tricuspid valve. The procedure uses clips to close leaky leaflets in the tricuspid ... intellectually stimulating about ...

Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe tricuspid regurgitation due to a flail anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve. It also revealed global left ventricular dysfunction. Flail tricuspid ...
