Parachute Tricuspid Valve: A Case Treated by Open Heart Surgery.

Parachute valve is the malformation of an atrioventricular valve in which the tension apparatus springs from a single papillary muscle or group of muscles. Parachute tricuspid valve is a rare anomaly with no surgically repaired case to date. We describe a case of parachute deformity of the tricuspid valve leading to hemodynamically significant severe tricuspid stenosis. The present case was successfully repaired surgically along with atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure.
