Background Tricuspid annuloplasty rings are routinely applied clinically. An optimal ring should reconstruct the valve annulus to its original configuration and adapt natural annular motion. However, there is still a lack of knowledge for a rational design. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between tricuspid valve annular geometry and deformational forces out-of-plane (substudy 1) and in-plane (substudy 2) using a porcine model
