Abstract

We experienced a case of a 1-year-old female with congenital tricuspid valve regurgitation caused by tricuspid valve dysplasia. The anterior and septal leaflets were particularly dysplastic, and leaflet tethering was observed. The anterior papillary muscle was approximated to the interventricular septum, and a commissural edge-to-edge suture was inserted on the anteroseptal commissure. Tricuspid valve regurgitation improved to be trivial after surgery and has not worsened 1 year later. Papillary muscle approximation could be one of the feasible reparative techniques for congenital tricuspid valve regurgitation.
