Managing tricuspid valve pathology in multiple valvular heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Multiple valvular heart disease (MVD) is a general term to describe regurgitant and stenotic combination involving the same valve and/or occurring in ≥2 cardiac valves. Limited data and paucity in guidelines render the diagnosis and management. This article aims to provide a state-of-the-art review concerning the diagnosis and management strategies of MVD.

Case presentation

We report a 46-year-old female with worsening dyspnea and fatigue. We perform multiple echocardiography parameters. We diagnose patients with the stenotic mitral valve, stenotic-regurgitant aortic valve, and stenotic-regurgitant tricuspid valve (TV). Double mechanical valve replacement and TV commissurotomy with Kay procedure were done with excellent results.
