In lWO cases. reported in detail. two commissurcs and ring had to be repaired. The nature of pathology was organic and fu nctional while in the rcmaininu-live cases it was onl.v functional. None or the cases required tricuspid valve replacement. Wc believe that tricuspid va lvuloplasty has a n importa nt position in heart surgery and should not be underestimated .
