Pericardial patch valve in the tricuspid position in an infant
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2011
Abstract
A 10-month-old infant with severe tricuspid valve disease due to staphylococcal bacterial endocarditis, underwent surgical replacement of the valve. The new valve was fashioned using an autologous pericardial patch. Over 3 years of follow-up, the new valve has functioned satisfactorily, with moderately elevated right atrial pressure.
