Abstract
Secondary incompetence of the tricuspid valve is the most frequent pathology of this valve in adulthood. Modern trend in cardiac surgery pays more attention to repair of moderate tricuspid regurgitation simultaneously with mitral or aortic valve surgery.
Late tricuspid repair after previous aortic of mitral valve surgery carries a hifh mrtality risk and poor functional improvement.
