Abstract

Isolated primary tricuspid insufficiency except Ebstein`s anomaly is rare disease. Recently we experienced two cases of isolated primary tricuspid insufficiency and treated successfully with annuloplasty or valve replacement. We could not classify our case as one of the classification of isolated tricuspid insufficiency, because the morphology and microscopic finding did not suggest any similar variety.
