ABSTRACT
Isolated tricuspid regurgitation is extremely rare, and in most of the previously reported cases, both tricuspid leaflets and subvalvar tissue have been absent, hypoplastic or fused. For this reason, tricuspid valvoplasty was difficult and valve replacement was adopted in many cases. In the present case, a 52-year-old man, however, the tricuspid valve showed no abnormalities other than a severely dilated tricuspid annulus. Ring annuloplasty was performed, and this resulted in a subsequent satisfactory course.
