Abstract
Tricuspid valve surgery, either in isolation or in combination with mitral valve surgery, can be easily implemented and performed through fully endoscopic access. Targeted measures are required for rapid, correct, and effective execution. As in the more general strategy of minimally invasive valve surgery, proper patient selection and planning based on imaging techniques are the secure foundation on which to base the surgical framework. Proper surgical access, ergonomics of instruments and movement, adequate venous drainage via cardiopulmonary bypass, and a bloodless field with minimal risk of gas embolization along with proper interaction between endoscopic optics and stitch placement to avoid minimal interference are the key points for performing the surgery. In this chapter, we describe our experience and workflow together with “tips and tricks” for successful intervention with a fully endoscopic approach, with attention to “traps” that may emerge.
