Objective To assess the method and the results of tricuspid annuloplasty performed(TVP) with the Edwards MC3 ring. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 312 patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation(FTR) secondary to left-sided valve disease in our hospital from June 2012 through May 2014. There were 147 males and 165 females at mean age of 55.7±7.3 years. Results There was no death in the patients because of the planting of MC3 ring. The mean follow-up rate was 99.4%(310/312) for 2 patients immigration abroad. The follow-up time was 0-24(14.2±4.7) months. The ultrasoundcardiogram showed that all the ejection fraction(EF) of right ventricle improved compared with preoperation(P<0.05). The pulmonary artery systolic pressure(SPAP), both internal diameter and regurgitation volume of right ventricle were decreased(P<0.05). In the 310 patients, 302 patients(97.4%) were with the TR class 0-Ⅰ, 5 patients(1.6%) with class Ⅱ, 3 patients(1.0%) with class Ⅲ. There was no severe TR or no patient with reoperation. Conclusion The MC3 ring is easy for planting and has good repeatability, which provides stable and satisfactory results for plasty of the tricuspid annulus with seldom residue or recurrent TR.
