Abstract
Bicuspidization technique for rheumatic tricuspid stenosis based on the concept that the tricuspid valve has a straight (septal) and a curved (mural) leaflet is described. The fused commissures on either side of the septal leaflet are divided, resulting in separation of the two leaflets. The related anatomic and pathologic features are discussed.Entities:
