Summary OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term outcomes of 2 different tricuspid surgeries including valvuloplasty and replacement for significant tricuspid regurgitation in patients with systemic right ventricle.METHOD:This is a retrospective study of 34 patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries or levo-transposition of the great arteries with biventricular circulation and systemic right ventricle undergoing tricuspid valve surgery between April 1979 and April 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the procedure: tricuspid valvuloplasty (n = 11) and tricuspid valve replacement (n = 23). These groups were compared in terms of survival, tricuspid valve dysfunction, and tricuspid valve-related reoperation.RESULTS:There was no significant difference between the groups in operative age, body weight, the proportion of dextro-transposition of the great arteries, Ebstein-like tricuspid dysplasia, and preoperative right ventricular volume/function. During the median follow-up of 9.7 years, there was 1 early death (tricuspid valvuloplasty group) and 4 late deaths (3 in tricuspid valvuloplasty group and 1 in tricuspid valve replacement group). There were 7 tricuspid valve dysfunctions, including 6 significant tricuspid regurgitations in the tricuspid valvuloplasty group and 1 prosthetic valve dysfunction in the tricuspid valve replacement group, and 4 tricuspid valve-related reoperations (3 in the tricuspid valvuloplasty group and 1 in the tricuspid valve replacement group) were performed. There were significant differences between the groups in survival (tricuspid valvuloplasty vs tricuspid valve replacement: 72.7 vs 94.7% at 10 years after surgery, P = .0328) and cumulative incidence of tricuspid valve dysfunction at 10 years after tricuspid surgery (tricuspid valvuloplasty vs tricuspid valve replacement: 27.3% vs 0%, P = .0121).CONCLUSIONS:Tricuspid valve replacement provided better long-term survival and tricuspid function in pa
