0 the valve (= structure that opens and closes) in the heart that stops blood from returning into the right atrium (= upper space) from the right ventricle (= lower space) --
Note the dysplastic and hypoplastic tricuspid valve, and the intact ventricular septum.
The normal tricuspid valve has septal, antero-superior, and mural or inferior leaflets.
The heart showed thickened leaflets of the tricuspid valve with normal annular insertions.
This maneuver results in producing an anterior compartment of the pulmonary venous chamber which conducts pulmonary venous blood to the tricuspid valve.
It was associated with a mitral (n=18) and tricuspid valve repair (n=8).
The pulmonary valve to moderator band/tricuspid valve ratio was < 1 in all patients (0.520.71).
Another unusual finding was the reversal of diastolic flow across the tricuspid valve.
Opened tricuspid valve showing shortened tendinous cords, but no formation of a muscular arcade.
