What is The Concept of Cone Creation to Treat Isolated Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia and the Case of a Double-orifice Tricuspid Valve about?
## Objectives Isolated tricuspid valve dysplasia is a rare disease characterized by a wide spectrum of possible anomalies. We describe the use of the Cone concept to treat a patient with a double-orifice tricuspid valve with massive regurgitation and severe deficit of coaptation. ## Methods Three adult patients with congenital non-Ebstein tricuspid valve anomaly characterized by severe coaptation deficiency underwent tricuspid valve repair applying the Cone technique. In particular, we describe the case of a symptomatic 21-year-old woman with a double-orifice tricuspid valve, with massive regurgitation and severe right ventricular dilatation. The tricuspid valve was transformed from a double-orifice valve into a single-orifice valve. The most superior orifice was opened, and the tissue surrounding the orifice was used to extend the leaflet of the inferior orifice. A Cone was created, and a ring annuloplasty was used to stabilize the result. ## Results The patient was discharged home after 7 days with trivial residual tricuspid regurgitation and no significant antegrade gradient. The final coaptation height was 2.8 cm. The cardiothoracic ratio decreased from 0.77 to 0.59 after 2 mon
