Two techniques of plastic surgery are currently used to treat tricuspid insufficiency: a prosthetic reductor or a continuous running suture. In the technique advocated here a double continuous suture is inserted into the tricuspid annulus, one running from the antero-septal to the antero-external commissures and the other, from the postero-septal to the antero-external commissures. When these two sutures are tied separately, the circumferences of the two parts of the annulus, which are diversely dilated, can be reduced. The authors have used this technique in 141 patients and a Carpentier's annulus in 41 patients. Perioperative mortality and 5-year survival were the same in both series, but the incidence of postoperative atrioventricular block was much lower in the first one. Another advantage of the double continuous suture technique is that foreign material is reduced to a minimum.
