Tricuspid Valve Prolapse

Abnormal protrusion of one or more of the leaflets of TRICUSPID VALVE into the RIGHT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into right atrium leading to TRICUSPID VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS. Its most common cause is not primary valve abnormality but rather the dilation of the RIGHT VENTRICLE and the tricuspid annulus.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Tricuspid Valve Prolapse:

1.	Immunoglobulin G (IgG)IBA 01/01/2012 - "The IgG level in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), anomalous chord localization, and combination of MPV and tricuspid valve prolapse was significantly higher than in the absence of HCTD. "
2.	Idiopathic pulmonary hypertensionIBA 06/01/1985 - "Echocardiographic findings of mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse in primary pulmonary hypertension."
3.	recessive Cutis laxaIBA 09/01/2014 - "We report on a 4-year-old girl with autosomal recessive cutis laxa, type IA, or pulmonary emphysema type (ARCL1A; OMIM #219100), with loose and wrinkled skin, mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse, conjunctivochalasis, obstructed nasolacrimal ducts, hypoplastic maxilla, and early childhood-onset pulmonary emphysema. "
4.	Pulmonary venous return anomalyIBA 09/01/1985 - "[A successful surgical case of secundum atrial septal defect with tricuspid regurgitation associated with tricuspid valve prolapse and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return]."
5.	tebufenozide (Mimic)IBA 12/01/1992 - "We describe several normal cardiac structures commonly imaged using TEE of the atria, interatrial septum, aorta, valves, and extracardiac spaces that may mimic diverse pathologic states, such as intracardiac tumor and thrombus, valvular vegetations, mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse, atherosclerotic plaque, and aortic dissection. "
6.	antineoplaston A10 (A 10)IBA 12/01/1980 - "There were four groups of patients: Group A, 10 healthy control subjects with no evidence of structural heart disease on cardiac catheterization; group B, 10 patients with classic clinical evidence of tricuspid regurgitation; group C, 10 patients with cross-sectional echocardiographic evidence of mitral valve prolapse without tricuspid valve prolapse; and group D, 15 patients with both mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse on cross-sectional echocardiography. "
7.	A 7 (A-7)IBA 07/01/1992 - "In group A, 7 subjects (33.3%) were found affected by mitral valve prolapse (MVP), of whom 3 also had mitral incompetence, 4 tricuspid valve prolapse and 2 aortic cusp prolapse with mild valvular insufficiency. "
8.	glucuronyl glucosamine glycan sulfate (Vessel)IBA 02/01/1980 - "Conversely, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome types I and III should be excluded in patients with mitral or tricuspid valve prolapse, great vessel dilatation, and congenital heart defects."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Sternotomy 11/01/2012 - "While minimally invasive approaches are used routinely to correct severe mitral regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse, isolated tricuspid valve prolapse is less frequent and usually addressed via sternotomy. "
2.	Sutures (Suture) 12/01/2011 - "Gore-Tex® sutures as used in mitral valve repair are an excellent option to replace chordae tendineae in tricuspid valve prolapse. "
