| Popis: | The patients presented at this time demonstrate that the association of mitral stenosis with tricuspid valve disease represents an operable state. Thoughtful consideration of the history and careful physical examination will usually indicate the presence of tricuspid disease. Hemodynamic studies in such patients, with attention to the atrioventricular pressure gradient in early diastole, will aid in arriving at a decision regarding the operability of the tricuspid lesion. The operative mortality and morbidity are high in this type of patient but the probability of improvement warrants operative therapy. |
