Abstract：
:Bioprosthetic valves for tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) have become increasingly popular in recent years, but mechanical valves remain valuable, particularly for the patients who want to avoid reoperation for bioprostheses malfunction. The aim of this study was to review our 10-year experience in adult patients who underwent TVR with the St. Jude Medical (SJM) valve. From 2005 to 2015, 265 TVRs with SJM valves were performed at our institution. The mean age at operation was 44.1 ± 9.7 years, and 207 cases (78.1%) were female. The mean follow-up was 4.9 ± 2.7 years. Preoperative atrial fibrillation was present in 199 cases (75.1%) and ascites in 26 (9.8%). Of all cases, 88.7% were characterized as New York Heart Association class III or IV. The hospital mortality was 6.4%. There were 9 deaths (3.8%) during late follow-up. The overall survival rates were 89.2% ± 2.2% at 5 years and 86.6% ± 2.9% at 10 years. The linearized rates of valve thrombosis and bleeding events were 0.8%/patient-year and 1.5%/patient-year, respectively. Three cases (1.3%) were reoperated due to prosthetic valve thrombosis. There was no reoperation for sperivalvular leakage and structural failure. The freedom from reoperation was 98.6% ± 0.8% at 5 years and 98.6% ± 0.8% at 10 years. The SJM valve in the tricuspid position is a reliable mechanical prosthesis with a low rate of valve thrombosis and reoperation. It is a reasonable choice for the patients who require mechanical valve replacement in the tricuspid position.
