We sought to review our experience of tricuspid valve surgery for fTR. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of adult patients (>_18 years) who underwent primary tricuspid valve surgery for fTR (n = 926; mean age 68.6 ± 12.5 years; 67% females) from January 1993 through June 2018 was conducted. There were 767 (83%) patients who underwent TVr (ring annuloplasty, 67%; purse-string annuloplasty, 33%) and 159 (17%) underwent TVR (bioprosthetic valves, 87%; mechanical valves, 13%). The median follow-up was 8.2 years [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.2–8.9 years]. Presented at the Southern Thoracic Surgical Association, Marco Island, Florida, 7 November 2019.
