Abstract

Background: Tricuspid valve or right atrio-ventricular valve is present in human heart between right atrium and ventricles. It prevents back flow of blood from ventricle to atrium duringsystole. The Tricuspid valve is more complex than the mitral valve, because of its high variability. Traditionally it is described as containing three leaflets (anterior, posteriorand septal), the chordae tendinae, two discrete papillary muscles and the fibrous Tricuspid annulus. Gross morphology of Tricuspid valve complex is more important parameter to know during surgical intervention of valve complex. Errors during valve surgeries commonly result in failure of valvular graft, valve prolapse and improper correction
