MORPHOMETRY OF TRICUSPID VALVE COMPLEX IN INDIAN POPULATION

Sweta Maurya, Anita Tuli

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION :The right atrioventricular orifice is oval or circular in outline and is oriented almost vertically making an angle of 45o with the sagittal plane .The tricuspid valve consist of 3 leaflets ,anterior ,posterior and septal . MATERIAL AND METHOD: Thirty formalin fixed hearts without any malformation or pathology were used in the study. Circumference, cross–sectional area, length of annulus, length and height of cusps of tricuspid valves were measured and analyzed. OBSERVATIONS : The circumference of tricuspid valves averaged 11.54±1.4 (range 8.2–14.1).The shape of the anterior leaflet was observed to be roughly semi circular to quadrangular with height average 2.25±0.4 and length average 4.3±0.5. Posterior leaflet had 1–3 scallops with the height average 1.5±0.5 and length average 4.4 ±1.04.The septal leaflet was semi–circular in shape with average length 4.4±0.4 and height 1.5±0.3.The average of area is 10.9±2.2.All measurements were in cm. DISCUSSION : Morphometry of valves thus calculated is essential information for manufacturing of prosthetic valve.
