Résumé : Operative and late results in a series of patients operated on at the tricuspid valve (replacement or annuloplasty) at the moment of surgery upon mitral and aortic valves are reported. Functional tricuspid insufficiency carries a greater risk than organic tricuspid disease. Considering the duration of the underlying mitral disease, four grades are set up for the mitro tricuspid patient allowing for prognosis and indication of the type of surgery to be done on the tricuspid valve.
