Three patients presented subacute right heart failure, 6, 12 and 22 months after replacement of the tricuspid valve with a Björk-Shiley prosthesis. The principal finding encountered on clinical examination was a tricuspid filling murmur with inspiratory accentuation. The mean prosthetic gradient found at cardiac catheterization was 7, 8 and 10 mm Hg. At surgery, the three prostheses were thrombosed on their ventricular aspect and all the three were replaced with new ones of the same model. The patients are alive and in good condition, 21, 17 and 8 months after the operation. Problems which relate to the surgical management of tricuspid valve disease are discussed.
