BACKGROUND: In patients undergoing mitral valve surgery, restrictive suture annuloplasty (De Vega) for less-than-severe functional tricuspid regurgitation has been proven to be safe and effective. The aim of this study is to determine whether the adjunct of the plication of the posterior tricuspid leaflet with the same running suture (bicuspidized De Vega or "De Kay") is equally safe and effective. METHODS: Single center, retrospective study on patients submitted to suture repair of the tricuspid valve during mitral valve surgery, with either conventional or De Kay, between January 2014 and December 2020. Comparison was based on degree of residual tricuspid valve regurgitation and right ventricular assessment at discharge. RESULTS: Over the course of the study period, 255 patients undergoing mitral valve surgery had a dilated (>40 mm or >20 mm/m2) tricuspid valve annulus, with less-than-severe tricuspid regurgitation. Conventional De Vega was employed in 166 patients (65.1%) and De Kay in the remaining 89 (34.9%). At discharge the adjunct of postero-septal commissure plication has similar outcomes to the classic De Vega repair. It seems to preserve right ventricular function. CONCLUSIONS: De Kay repair guarantees the same tricuspidal regurgitation reduction as compared with conventional De Vega early after surgery.
