Between April 1976 and March 1978, six cases of tricuspid valve replacement were done in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. There were 4 men and 2 women and the age of the patients ranged from 17 years of the youngest to 48 years of the oldest. Most of them had characteristic symptoms of tricuspid valve disease, such as a systolic murmur audible over the lower sternum and varying with respiration, pulsatile and distended neck vein, and` an enlarged and pulsatile liver. Preoperative functional levels according to NYHA Calcification were class III in 4 cases, and class IV in 2 eases. Most of the cases showed moderate to severe cardiomegaly in chest films and elevated right atrial pressure on preoperative right heart catheterization. Five of them underwent concomittent mitral valve replacement and one pulmonary valvotomy. All of them showed tricuspid insufficiency resulted from massive dilatation of annulus, destructive lesions of valve structure, or both anomalies. One postoperative hospital death was encountered and the cause of death was low out-put syndrome. All survivors showed clinical improvement and cardiomegaly regressed and left hospital in a good condition . *Attendum; Recently 2 more cases of tricuspid valve replacement with mitral valve replacement were done after this review.[KTCS 1978;2:185-193]
