We report a rare case of tricuspid valve incompetence caused by a needle-like foreign body with an unknown route of invasion. A 55-year-old woman who had suffered from chronic heart failure for more than 25 years was diagnosed as having Ebstein's anomaly after a transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler imaging showed severe tricuspid regurgitation and displacement of the septal leaflet toward the right ventricle inlet. Surgery revealed a foreign body attached to the tricuspid valve, causing regurgitation. Valve replacement was performed and the patient's condition improved remarkably thereafter.
