Abstract

A 62-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with worsening dyspnea. Chest X-ray revealed dextrocardia, and echocardiography revealed decreased right ventricular function, a severely dilated tricuspid annulus, a massive tricuspid, and trivial mitral regurgitation. Patch augmentation of the tricuspid leaflet with auto-pericardium and ring annuloplasty with a flat-type upside-down artificial ring to fit the dextrocardia heart was performed. Echocardiography 4 years after the operation showed trivial regurgitation.
