Abstract

Introduction: Most native tricuspid valve stenosis (TS) cases are rheumatic, usually associated with other valvulopathies. Rheumatismal TS typically occurs with concomitant mitral and/or aortic involvement.

 

 

Case Presentation: Here, we present a 42-year-old symptomatic woman with isolated TS due to rheumatic heart disease.

 

 

Conclusion: Patients suffering from rheumatic heart disease should be on regular follow-ups and periodically assessed with echocardiography. In the present case, the tricuspid valve was involved in isolation.
