Abstrakt:	Isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis accounts for only 5 to 10 percent of infective endocarditis cases globally. Numerous surgical procedures ranging from simple vegetectomy, creation of neoleaflets or complete replacement by a prosthetic valve have been described. We aimed to evaluate our experience in surgical management of this entity and to formulate an approach for timing, appropriateness and extent of surgery. Patients operated on semi elective/emergency basis had adverse outcome with residual regurgitation and had longer ICU stay. Also, patients who required excision of leaflet and creation of neoleaflets had a higher incidence of regurgitation. This suggests that maximal preservation of native valve lessens the incidence of residual regurgitation. Simple vegetectomy and patch repair of the residual defect offers the best outcome.
