TV Replacement<br />
TV repair appears to result in improved mid mid-term term survival (up to 10<br />
years after surgery, primarily as a result of higher perioperative<br />
mortality with replacement) as compared with tricuspid valve<br />
replacement<br />
Higher perioperative mortality with replacement may have been<br />
due to a rigid object (tricuspid valve), that leads to loss of tricuspid<br />
annular contraction which finally impedes right ventricular function.<br />
TV supra supra-annular annular implantation avoids this phenomenon
