Objective  To evaluate long-term clinical results in patients who underwent mitral valve replacement and suture tricuspid annuloplasty. Methods  We included 401 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement and suture tricuspid annuloplasty in our hospital between January 2006 and March 2011. There were 309 females and 92 males at age of 17-71 (46.2±12.0) years. All patients were investigated by echocardiography at postoperative 5 years. The tricuspid valve procedures consisted of bicuspidization, modified Kay annuloplasty and leaflet repair according to the actual conditions. Results  The patients were followed up for 5–10 (7.4±1.4) years. As compared with preoperation, the right atrium (RA, 7.6±13.0 mm vs. 49.3±13.2 mm), right ventrium (RV, 23.2±4.7 mm vs. 22.0±3.6 mm), left atrium (LA, 59.7±19.0 mm vs. 53.6±14.7 mm, left ventrium (LV, 49.3±8.6 mm vs. 47.7±6.2 mm), tricuspid of end-distolic diameters (TEDD, 35.9±5.7 mm vs. 32.8±5.9 mm) and tricuspid of end-systolic diameters (TESD, 9.4±5.7 mm vs. 26.5±4.9 mm) of patients decreased significantly at postoperation (P<0.01). As compared with preoperation, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 60.3%±8.9% vs. 61.7%±8.3%) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS, 32.6%±6.3% vs. 33.8%±5.5%) raised significantly at postoperation (P<0.01). As compared with preoperation, the constituent rate of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) improved significantly at postoperation (P<0.01). Conclusion  Tricuspid annuloplasty adopting TEDD as a surgical indication is reasonable for patients with mitral diseases. Combined and individualized suture tricuspid annuloplasty can obtain better long-term results. It is needed to order aggressive diuretics treatment for patients with postoperative TR.
